This Morning's Rant

I realize that John had surgery last week but I also know that he is taking very little, if any, pain meds. He should be able to drive.

I also realize that he is not a morning person so him getting up early is NOT normally something I can count on.

Shawn has been dragging lately in the morning. He sometimes changes his clothes 2-3 times and he has no sense of urgency in leaving in the morning. So my frustation level in the morning is starting to increase.

John was still laying in bed, partially asleep, while I am pushing Shawn to get moving. I see the time and I am starting to realize I am pretty close to being late to work. Did John even remotely stir? Um, no. After about 10 minutes he walks down the stairs and he can tell something is wrong.

I tell him that it would have been nice if he could have volunteered to take Shawn the last few days of this week to daycare/school to give me a break. He has an opportunity to take Shawn to school, which rarely presents itself and he is not helping me by taking advantage of it.

He apologized and is now taking Shawn to school the next two days. I will now be able to get in a bit early, leave earlier and take the little lagger to the pool.
