Starting the day off all wrong!

This morning I got up to get my eight year old son ready for school. While we were waiting to go outside to wait for the bus we practiced his vocabulary words. When it was time to go out in the brutal 30 degree weather, I put on the Monster's coat and then my older son and I got on our coats too. We went out and waited for the bus so I quizzed him a little more since he had a test today. As I stood there watching the Monster play in the very small amount of snow on the sidewalk, the school bus pulled up with its annoying sound of bad breaks. The stop sign unfolded and my son darted across the street and on to the bus as I watched. For the first time ever, the Monster did not put up a fight when I walked him back into the house. When we got in the house I immediately got on the Internet to get an ATM card for my savings account. ( I still didn't get that done yet and its already 11pm) The Monster walked up to me with this big yellow and black thing stuck to his back. Then he said, "Mommy, school!" Umm...The only thing my two year old associates with the word school was a school bus, his big brother, and a backpack. And I was pretty sure there wasn't a bus hanging from him. I turned my head and looked at him and saw my eight year olds book bag hanging from his back! My job is never done.
