Sparing you the details here's how the kids did this morning: oversleeping, food-wasting, moping, sulking, accusations, shouting match, glaring, ignoring, pants-wetting, P.E. clothes losing, demanding.
Still, over-all it was fairly calm and with all the late-start schools we never seem to be rushing.
Ana laughed at my use of the word "impinge" when talking to one of the kids. What? It's a real word and I used it correctly in a mini-lecture after getting the full-on attitude bit when I stopped one of the kids from making a rude comment. Yes, I was feeling somewhat snappish this morning and it's a satisfyingly snappy word.
Gotta get a grip and let everyone's morning sulkiness go as it usually wears off by the time they get home.
Another rough morning for Squeaker but at least she left on a shared joke afer she reeled backwards into me when putting on her backpack. She's gonna need a new backpack and a new back before the end of 8th grade.
