I'm sure I'm not the only mom that has thrown clothes on without a bra and undies.  I'm sure I won't be the last or that this will be the last lesson for me either.  It just goes to show how every single day for me is organized mass confusion.  One had OAA tests, one was too busy blow drying her hair to yell to me a yes or no on packed lunch and the other couldn't find her socks!  The other 2 were ready to go....if you count sitting in the stroller covered in a blanket with no shoes as ready.  The other underage school wannabe standing there with her hair all scattered and her usual book bag all ready to go nowhere ;(

We walk to the bus stop a couple of condo building away from us.  I'm so grateful not to have to drive them until I hear "I forgot my banana......and uh, my lunch too!" 
"What?  Are you shitten me?" I yell not to giving two shits who is around because I didn't want to drive them to school in any way, shape or form.  Loading 3 in car seats gets old....especially when one escapes before you ever got her belted and the back of my SUV isn't the easiest to crawl over making threats a real crock of shit!  So I yell for her to just run really quick and she declines........of course. 

I give them all a kiss and put them on the bus.  If anyone knows our bus stop, it's got mega kids.   It's never a surprise to be sitting on the road waiting.....waiting....waiting...for about 10 minutes.  I know the cars HATE us!  And I was pretty pissed at our bus driver a few times standing in the rain waiting for her to pull away until...........I saw my chance!  I looked at my neighbor and said "Ya think I can make it?" as she looks around and says "Go for it!" I'm running up the drive as fast as I can to get this damn lunch.  I made it home, grabbed it and started back!  Round the corner........bus still there......almost everyone one on the bus and my neighbor starts to hold the bus.  Let's just say I notice I'm being watched.  Being watched by the parents...now the bus driver.....OH MY GOD the whole bus is watching as I run down the drive, and I do mean down.....holding my boobies to my chest and pulling my sweats up from falling off my ass.....and carrying a ladybug lunch bag and banana!  My shit falling out and swinging all over the place.  Not a sight for anyone to see!   I'm asking the neighbor as I run past her if she thinks I can just put it through the bus window to the driver and suddenly I notice the window is shut.  Running around the front of the bus I see a car in front of the bus and one in back....OH MY GOD I'm going to have to go on the bus!!!  Are you shitting me again? I looked up at the bus driver and said "I'm so sorry! Heck of a day to not put your undergarments on!"  She's laughing saying "At least you made it!" as I walk up the step, hand the lunch bag and banana to my daughter saying loudly "I hope I've embarrassed you enough to never ever do this again!"  

All I could hear as I walked back home was my mom in my head saying in her country accent "Don't forget to keep clean drillies on!  You never know when you might get into an accident.  She also was the one that said "Your kids will pay you back all you've done to me one day.  Just you wait and see!"

So I ask my girls about me running to the bus.  "Did you see me?  Did everyone on the bus see me?  OH MY GOD....was I falling out all over the place and showing my gut?"  My little forget everything kid says smiling and giggling as best she could saying "Mom, the bus driver was smiling at you and you were so pretty!"  I look at her as if to say- you really think you're gonna bullshit me?  She then comes back with "You are so pretty, Mom.  You were just jiggling a little but not hanging out!"  Out of the mouths of only MY girls ;)  I'm never going to ask her if my butt looks big in anything!
