So I had a parent fail. Hudson's first day of school today..and Britton's first day of 3rd grade. I'm running late. The bell rings as soon as Hudson, Britton, their mom and I get to the line he should have been standing in 5 minutes ago. Everyones rushing around, they already let one line of kids in...the teacher's checking to see if Hudson is in the right line, Mom and I are trying to get pictures. It didn't register until later that the entire time I was snapping pictures of Hudson, Britton is asking why nobody's taking any of her. I didn't notice then, but later on I remembered hearing it. So I finally get a decent picture and his line goes in.

So after getting Hudson in...I realize that Britton is late and I should have just told her to go line up on the other side of school earlier. Now we have to walk in the front door...sign her in officially late, and I walk her to class. She looks up at me and says, "Thanks dad. I'm late for my first day of 3rd grade." Ouch. Wow. I don't know if I'm allowed to be a parent anymore. I may have to take both kids back to the Dr. and let him know I'm not quite ready. Maybe we can get a squeegee and a plunger and put them back in. Oops.
