Despite Ben and I both having alarms set, we completely over slept....AND it was the 1st day of school.
Great.
We all bolted out of bed at 7:15. On a normal day, that would give us a semi manageable time frame since school doesn't start until 7:50, but it was the first day so I would have preferred "more than enough" time to just "manageable".
The real kicker, though, was that Ben volunteered to be at the school at 7:20 to direct school traffic. So.....a mad dash it was!
I'm pretty certain every one managed to get their teeth brushed, but I'm pretty sure a boy or two missed breakfast. Forget about obligatory 1st day of school pictures.
So much for a lovely send off, but we all made it out the door in 10 minutes--with minimal stress no less!
It was the silver lining to our morning!

Later, when Ben and I were back in our calm, quiet, kid-free house, Ben said he didn't understand how he could sleep through his alarm because he set it up so that he had to answer a couple of math problems before it would turn off.
For a split second I was super impressed that he managed to answer them in his sleep, but then he said that he forgot to save the new setting.
It was a good plan!
As for me, I got off work late and didn't make it to bed until 2:30. That seems like a semi-valid excuse for ignoring my alarm.
We'll do better on Monday!
