Just a Minute Early!
Another Minute or So!
Not just another Minute!
Its amazing how the morning drive is cluttered with speeding parents trying to cut corners and yet not lose it on the way to the school.
Marginally driving over the limit or rolling past the stop sign - yet carefully eyeing for any flashing red and blue!
With just a couple of miles to go one way - stealing that minute is all it takes to feel accomplished!
Why do I get that Polite driver in front of me - giving way to other drivers and people on the way - making me miss that much needed Greenlight! Making me plan with no room to miss a light or hold a bit too long at a stop - was all I could with my dated noodles - as this day seems to play like any other day of the year.
Watching kids rolling into school! Driving on the way to school with the Sun still in its early morning blues reflecting the sentiments in my car - it is nice to see batches of kids with a boat load of books toiling toward the school. Looking at the expressions on these kids -Some with anticipation for a new day..Others picking on friends..And some with absolute mysterious look!Looking at the budding fashion statements being made- seem to have some correlation to the size and grade of the kids!
Parents dragging their little ones hopping along the way like a pony! Yet others valuing the time speed walking to skip that minute or two in order to avoid the tardy slip! Helloing parents speeding to jump a car or two in the parking lot in rushing to work!
With music floating from the band practice mellowing the morning rush as some others drag back in catching up with concerned teachers!
Watching those kids do jumping jack as they try and wake up for a little stretch take me back through rusty memory lanes!
Sitting behind the wheels as I jump the engine, I lean over to look at that clock in my dash- doing a quick math realized that I need to beat a light or two to be on time for my 9'O clock!
They say its never too late!
But -It takes only a minute to be early!
As they prepare for the Memorial Day
shut down it was nice knowing we are only a few weeks from the long well deserved break after a year long struggle to keep pace with the Kids and the school!
Yes...Another School Year comes to an End!
When its here I am sure I would feel that its Not a Minute Early!
