"that" kind of morning...

Yes, my morning has been "that" kind of morning. We were rushing. This is usually the case around here at the Bell home, no matter how hard we try, and it was raining. The drop off line at Emma's school was exceptionally long, so I decided to be clever and drop off Emma and Kennedy (Kennedy is Emma's friend who we take to school every day) at the crosswalk to avoid the long, tedious line and thus save time so hopefully Lauren and Eden would not be late for school! Then I realized how pitiful the situation was when I pulled from the curb and saw my poor little daughter crossing the street on crutches, with her knee immobilizer, friends carrying her bag, in the rain, just to save time. Bad mom. Then before I knew it , lights started flashing in my rearview mirror. I thought to myself, "that poor person being pulled over, I'm glad it's not me!" Lauren looked over at me saying, "mom I think it's us." How could it possibly be us, I had done nothing wrong, but it had to be us because he was right on my tail! So I reluctantly pulled over, rolled down my window and let the rain fall into the car, onto me. The police officer explained to me that I had pulled into the crosswalk and let my kids out, that was bad. He said it was a safety violation! I think I just looked at him with a blank stare because I know deep down that it is a safety violation, but I guess because of Emma's new disability I thought these rules don't apply to me, right? I told him I have a daughter on crutches and that is why I did it, all the while thinking my girls are going to be late for school and that is the reason I decided to break the safety violation in the first place so they wouldn't be late, don't you understand, you idiot with chewing tobacco in your left cheek! Shouldn't you be setting an example for these kids, isn't that a safety violation? He gave me a warning and told me not to get bent out of shape about it, nice! I drove off thinking all sorts of nice, colorful words in my head, I hope I didn't let any escape out of my mouth. Eden was flustered because today is picture day and she didn't want to miss her picture being taken. Lauren hates being late. The girls were late to school and I am a bad mom who breaks the law.
How did your morning go so far?
