Well, today was different

I was so proud of myself this morning.  Got up, got Ada off to school on time, mowed the lawn in enough time to pick up Ada from school, got the kids shoes on... they were standing next to the door when I figured out that I couldn't find my van keys anywhere.  Jer had one set at work, at least a 1/2 hour away.  I couldn't find mine.  Finally gave up and called my VTer and HTer/ carpooling buddy (yeah they're married) to go get her at school for me.  (The problem is that you have to have the right color and number on an official school card displayed in your windshield that matches with your child's color and number. I think it's a great precaution but it wasn't convenient today... at all.)  Proud Mommy moment... Ada told the teacher that the black car wasn't her car and she was only supposed to get in her car... Cringing moment... Ada carpools in the black car with my VTer every morning to school so she should know who they are by now.  I couldn't bring myself to even be remotely mad about that though... she knew not to get in a stranger's car... awesome!  Jer got home, unlocked the van with his set of keys and found my set which had fallen on the floor before closing and locking it last time I used it.  Nice.  Let's just say, thank goodness for Visiting and Home Teachers.
