This morning’s commute was miserable. Fortunately I knew in advance it would be bad because I happened to catch the traffic report before CootieBoy demanded to watch “Curious George.”
I got the kids out of the house 15 minutes earlier than normal, but then when we arrived at daycare CootieBoy had a meltdown and wanted to be in CootieGirl’s class. After five minutes of dealing with the tantrum (which included him laying prostrate in the parking lot as it rained on us) I finally got out of there at around 8:20 a.m.
I arrived at my desk at 9:52 a.m. Yep – a 90 minute commute. I told you it was bad (for those who don’t know, my commute averages 25-30 minutes in the morning).
So today I will be skipping lunch in order to make up the lost hour. Bummer – my book that I read on my lunch hour is just starting to get good.
