My Life These Days

I have finally found my rhythem having 6 boys.
.......Or so I thought.

We were packing up to head to school and as I glanced behind me I noticed Jack heading out the door still in his socks.
Buddy your shoes are right here by the door I said, then I went and got into the van.
And then I came home.

And as I walked back into the house I saw this

Jack's shoes.
At which point I just stood.
Just stood there with my coffee cup
trying to decide if I just dropped off my 4th youngest son at school
with
no
shoes
on.

So what's a mom to do?
No idea.

So I just stood there.
Sipping my coffe,
enjoying the sunrise,
staring at his shoes,
torn between driving to school with two shoes, approaching the office and saying,
"Exscuse me, but may I please see Jack? He may or may not be here today with
no
shoes
on."

...or do I just wait.
Wait for the phone to ring.
"Good morning Jack's mom, this is the school calling to tell you that your child has no shoes today."
Yeah.
Decisions, decisions.

I chose option B.
Sip coffee and wait.
And ya know what?
They never called.

And sure enough my sweet little blond haired baby walked off that bus at 3:00
with
his
brothers
shoes
on.

And I thought I had it all together.

Gotta go now, my humble pie just finished baking and it's calling my name.
