Today was Hannah's 1st day of middle school. She's had her 1st day of school outfit planned out for months. She's explained to me in depth, on numerous occasions, how she was going to curl her hair. Her alarm was going to wake her up at 6:30 am, so she could get ready, and arrive at school 20 minutes early. That way she would have time to talk to all of her friends, find her locker, practice her combination, and put her school supplies in her locker, etc. What a lovely dream.
Reality check...
7:20 am - Mom gets dressed to take Hannah to school
7:25 am- Mom goes down stairs to make sure she is up, dressed, and has eaten her breakfast
7:26 am - Mom finds sleeping beauty in bed, still dreaming about her 1st day of school plans 7:26:01 am - Mom yells at sleeping beauty to get up because it's now 7:26:10, and she is going to be late
7:26:20 am - "Oh crap" is sleeping beauty's response as she throws off the covers, and makes a mad dash for the bathroom
7:30 am - Hannah emerges from the bathroom, and goes to her room to get dressed. Mom impatiently waits on the couch
7:32 am - Hannah asks if she needs to wear a certain undergarment since she is wearing a tank top underneath her shirt. Mom shakes her head in utter disbelief, and walks out of the room.
7:37 am - Hannah gets dressed, and fixes her hair.
7:45 am - Hannah thinks she is ready to go, but she has the wrong undergarment on, (the sports type underneath a spaghetti strap tank top). Mom yells, and then realizes the problem the entire time has been that she is wearing the wrong tank top (she should be wearing the one that has the undergarment sewn in it). Hannah finds the right one, and is finally ready to go
7:49 am - Mom asks Hannah if she brushed her teeth
7:49:30 am - Hannah brushes her teeth
7:51 am - We are finally ready to go, but the car keys are missing
7:51:30 am - Hannah sits in the car while Mom wakes up Dave to ask him where he put the keys when he got home from work
7:52 am - Dave finds the keys, and mom is out the door
7:54 am - Mom realizes the road she was planning on taking to the school is closed, so we have to go the long way around
7:59 am - We arrive in front of the middle school with 1 minute to spare
7:59:45 am - Mom drives home still shaking her head
Man. Middle school is tough!

Boo's first day of high school was a breeze - oh wait - he's a boy. He got clothes from the piles on the floor and hoped he got ones that didn't stink too bad.
He was up and dressed - I was happy.
Oh just wait, you'll be getting a double dose of divaism. :)
what am I waiting for? I've already got it!!!!!
So did the 2nd day of school start better than the first?
