Normal Crazy

Just an average morning at the Druger household. I got up and started running. It was Lauren's first day at Summer School and Brandon was starting his second week. Everyone had to get up, get dressed and eat. Then it was the packing of the backpacks. Brandon wanted to bring stuff from the caves and then, of course, Lauren had to too. I finished all that and hit the shower. Thought I was in the home stretch when I sat down to read with Lauren before the bus when I got the call. The sister, Brandon's sandal broke and the bus was due in 20 minutes. Great, Lauren bus is due in 15 minutes. Two choices. Leave Lauren at the stop and run to the sitters or get Lauren on her bus and then run the shoes to Brandon's school; 30-40 minutes away. Well, since I was not dressed for work yet I left Lauren at the stop and ran for it. Got there before the bus, dropped the shoes, and ran for home. If the bus was late, I could still make it to see her off. As I figured, it was, I did. Just the normal crazy life of a mother living on the edge.
