Matthew is a Safety Patrol!

Okay, so I am no longer the worst mom ever! Matthew signed up to be a Safety Patrol at the end of last year, but wasn't chosen because of recurring tardies!!! , His grades were great, his behavior perfect, attendance fine, just more than a few late mornings. Now, I am not going to say Matthew is completely innocent in the tardy situation, but more than anything, it was because I couldn't find my keys (or my phone, or Jacob's shoes, or my shoes) in the morning. But, I have turned over a new leaf! If you believe that, well, you don't know me very well... But I asked the Safety Patrol teacher to please consider him if a space opens up. I said that if a space opens up in an afternoon slot, even better, since I have no problems getting to the school a few minutes later in the afternoon! Anyway, yesterday, a space opened up~ It seems one of the safety patrols didn't want to do it anymore. Matthew could not have been more excited!
He had to be at school by 7:25 this morning! But here's the very cool thing about that: He left with John and Megan! John dropped off Megan at 7:10, then Matthew by 7:20! I think I might like this early-morning thing!

So you get that worst mom ever thing too? Good Luck with that getting it going faster in the morning. I had Audrey at school two minutes after the bell yesterday and you'd think they were lining up for lunch the way she reacted. I would love it if Tom was a fast mover in the mornings and could take them but, that is really reaching for the stars. Hope the shuffling them off with John continues to go well.
