Dear Son
I'm sorry that I made you late for school for the second time this year. I promise you that this will be the last time.
Love
Mum

That happened yesterday and I am SO guilty! DinoBoy was late for school for the 2nd time this year. It makes me sad when I see him writing his name on the Later Comers book. It all started well and on time but ended up with us running late.

We really don't have anything much to do in the morning, the usual "wake up & get ready" stuffs. Here's a look at my usual weekday mornings' schedule;
5.15am Alarm goes off
5.30am After lazing on the bed for that long, I dragged myself out of it and wash up.
5.45am The water is boiling, morning load of laundry is in the washing machine.
5.50am Sit down in front of laptop/reading my book with my morning coffee.
6.30am Wake DinoBoy up.
6.35am Hanging up my washing while DinoBoy washes up.
6.50am Shower while DinoBoy change into his school uniforms.
7am Wakes DinoPapa up.
Ok, here is the "mysterious" part of the morning, between 7am and 7.30am its always a blur and a mad rush even though I've prepared every thing, there just seems to be SOMETHING that happened at the last minute every morning!
- we went through DinoBoy's Student's Handbook and packed his school bag the night before, he will "suddenly" remember that he has to let me sign a letter/spelling/forms etc.
- realized that I have left my mobile phone/Wushu shoes/art file abg IN the house when we just stepped out of the lift.
- "MOM! This sock is SO tight!" "Arrgghhh!! MOM! the pants is so tight!" "MOM! MOM!!"
- can't find DinoBoy's school tie even though its ALWAYS at where its suppose to be.
- etc etc etc
We are suppose to leave the house at 7.25am (the latest) to catch the buses (bus stop is just a stone throw away) that usually comes around 7.30am. We have a few buses to take so we should be "safe" but on certain days; like yesterday, the buses decides to arrive at the same time. So we missed ALL the buses and its a torturing wait for the next bus to come, of course the bus decides to be late too.
For most days, DinoBoy would have made it to school just in time but I will be slightly late for work. I'm ok with it (my bosses are too) but not when DinoBoy is late for school. I have to do something, but what can I do? I've done all that is suppose to be done; DinBoy's uniforms are already ironed over the weekends, I've packed our bags the night before, the only thing I can do is to do my laundry the night before? I'm a little bit lost now.... Perhaps you can help me?
