The Morning 'Routine'
« on: March 30, 2009, 08:03:24 AM »
 evil:

I am not at my best first thing in the morning, therefore I have a routine.

Before going to bed at night I ensure that The Boy's school uniform is ready. This prevents ghastly sock hunts in the monring.

At 7.30 I get up and proceed downstairs. I turn the compooter on en route. spider:

7.35: Coffee and a fag.  cloud9:

7.40: Make sure the Boy's breakfast is ready and ensure that his school bag contains the necessary stuff (lunch money, music, PE kit, homework etc.)  angel1

7.45 Proceed in direction of shower. Ensure that Mrs Nick and The Boy are awake

7.55 emerge from shower and get dressed. angel1

 
8.00 Wake Mrs Nick andn The Boy AGAIN   cussing:

8.20 Yell to Mrs Nick and The Boy that it's nearly 8.30  cussing:

8.30 Boy appears (tousled) and complains about nature of breakfast (daily ocurrence whatever it happens to be)

8.40: They should have left for skool at 8.35. Mrs Nick appears looking confused.

8.45 Boy, getting dressed has lost one sock down the back of a radiator  cussing: HOW?!?!

8.46 Begin sock hunt

8.50 Mrs Nick appears with wet hair and starts yelling 'Where are my specs? Where are my keys?'
I inform her of their location. 'Well what are they doing there?'

8.55 Time to go. Boy announces he has failed to brush teeth.  Banghead

8.57. Boy fails to locate skool shoes. Boy announces his saxophone is broken, so he is not taking it in for his 9.30 a.m. lesson  cussing:

8.58. Mrs Nick loses handbag  Banghead Banghead

8.59 Depart in squeal of tyres.

8.59 and a half: Return to collect forgotten school bag  Angry9:

Why does some effing variation on this train crash HAPPEN EVERY DAY?  Angry9: Angry9: Angry9: Angry9:

Waking up The Boy is one thing, ensuring he gets up is another. Stand there until he is out of bed - do not take any bs about 5 more minutes.

As for Mrs Nick - she is responsible for her own actions  noooo:

Wake her and then leave her. If she's late then it's her own fault.

I am presuming the school is not within walking distance and therefore you could not get The Boy up and to school  yourself.

Expecting people to do exactly as you tell them could be a tad unrealistic  lol: - but if behaviour patterns persist and people aren't prepared to change those patterns then they have to accept the consequences.

Tough love for Mrs Nick  scared2:

Good luck

Not sure if I'm capable  lol:

You work from home.

You don't have to get up at 7:30am

You cannot take The Boy to school.

Mrs Nick has to get up to go to work and take The Boy to school.



Therefore it's not your problem.

At the moment of departure for skool he can appear reasonably respectable. By the end of the day he does look like a tramp.  evil:

'ome education  whistle:

Boys & I stay in bed or in front of TV until THW and MAHW have sorted themselves out.
If THW misses bus due to excessive faffing MAHW takes her in by car. Boys and I take the piss  (pretend sobbing, waving of hankies etc) 8)
We then enjoy leisurely manly breakfasts and ablutions before settling into our day at about ten(ish).

Currently I am half way through ablutions taking time out to type this and the boys are making their beds.

Lord knows where MAHW is (faffing in the utiity room from the sound of it ~ or we have a pig hunting for truffles in there. On balance it will be her searching for something). THW is safely at school (or at least she got on the bus and we haven't heard to the contrary)
