morning before school…
i decided to try an experiment this morning. i would wait to see if thomas woke up with his alarm clock rather than me having to tell him his alarm clock was beeping. it worked!
then i waited to see if he would take a quick (or at least quick in thomas terms) and he did. but would he remember to then wake his brother up and let him know that it was his turn for the shower? yes! 2 points…

awww…a strike. i had to remind them to eat breakfast. not a big deal.
i hate that there is almost no school transportation. it is impossible to plan anything other than within the school hours. otherwise, the boys have to sit at school early (as they did wed. for my dr. appt. at 7.45 am) or they have to hang out late afterschool (as they did when i had to take kaity to work). i understand that there is a budget crisis in california but this does not help. if i were to want to work, i would have to find a job that would start no earlier than 8.30 and finish by 2.30. not an easy prospect.

california drivers are horrible by american standards. they don’t hold a candle to italian drivers but still horrible none the less. i can’t tell you the number of drivers that are distracted by their phones and wander into my lane. my horn is working over time. i know now why the laws against cell phone use by drivers is so important. yesterday morning there was an horrific looking single vehicle accident. it blocked the 3 middle lanes of santa margarita. thankfully, i saw a gentleman on the side of the road talking to a cop so i hope that was the driver and that he was ok. his vehicle was totaled and he took out a number of street signs.
