So I'm finally ready to tell you about getting Riley on the school bus yesterday morning. Took me a while to cool down and find the funny in it, but now that I have I was retelling the story to my mom this evening crying I was laughing so hard about it. Here we go:
- 6:40 am Get Riley dressed.
- 6:50 am Figure out what she wants for breakfast - Pancakes.
- 6:55 am Eat Riley.
- 7:00 am Eat Riley.
- 7:10 am Eat Riley. Your running out of time.
- 7:13 am Eat Riley - you can have 1 last bite and that's it. Go brush your teeth.
- 7:15 am. Brush your teeth Riley - She can't because she is still chewing.
- 7:16 am Brush your teeth Riley your bus will be here in 3 minutes.
- 7:17 am No time to brush your teeth Riley.
- 7:18 am Jason "RILEY - GET YOUR SHOES ON NOW. YOUR BUS IS COMING!" Me "GET OVER HERE AND GET YOUR SHOES ON!" Riley in tears - "I'm trying. I didn't brush my teeth."
Me. - 7:19 am Jason "THE BUS IS COMING. YOUR GOING TO MISS THE BUS!"
- Me running out of the house with Riley's coat and backpack. "COME ON RILEY!"
- Riley running out of the house with one shoe on and the other in her hand. I open the door from the breezeway to the outside.
- Riley finally has her shoes on.
- The bus is at the end of the driveway with her door open and traffic has been stopped. I go to start walking and instead of paying attention to Riley I am looking at the bus driver. I let the door go. Riley goes flying. (Gives new meaning to don't the door hit you on the way out.)
- Still no coat on.
- Bus still waiting.
- I pick her up, put her coat on while she is officially sobbing.
- Me "This is why you have to hurry in the morning" Riley "I want Daddy to take me to school." Me "Daddy can't take you to school everyday."
- Riley still sobbing.
- Me telling her to stop because nobody wants to see that.
- Bus driver gives me very disapproving look and feels bad for Riley.
- Put Riley on the bus sobbing.
- Come back in the house and Jason says, "I think I'm going to start driving her to school everyday."
- After school I get Riley off the bus. The bus driver says very cheerfully to Riley, "Have a great day Riley" and the grunts something in my direction. What lady? Don't you have kids? Didn't you ever try to get somewhere quick with one of them?
- Walking back into the house I say to Riley, "Sorry for letting the door hit you and knock you over this morning." She says, "It's ok mommy. And I'm sorry for not listening this morning." We were friends after that.
-So then today I keep Riley home from school and take all three kids to the doctor. In the waiting room Riley has to take off her boots and coat. Why you ask? I don't know. When they call our names we all get up. She goes to get all her stuff. I go to swing the backpack on and wouldn't you know it but I swung the backpack right into her head while putting it on my back. Once again she is sobbing all the way to the doctor's room. That poor girl. Just can't catch a break.
