Some days you have your act together. Today doesn’t seem to be one of them for me. I ran Tyler over to school this morning and as we were driving up to the building he announces, “I forgot my glasses.”

Still too short on coffee to react with more than a long exhale, I drive on by and circle around to the house. He gets his specs and we try again.

45 minutes later I’m taking Doug to his school. As we pull up to the drop off point he quips, “Well at least I didn’t forget my glasses.”

I have this sudden flash of the refrigerator and respond, “No, you forgot your lunch.” More exhaling. It’s a good thing I live close to the school. I’m having more coffee now. I’m going to keep drinking it until my brain actually drops into gear.
