Tuesday morning tears

We've had 7 days of school since returning from Christmas vacation, and some of them haven't started so well. On 3 of those days, we have missed the school van for the morning pick-up, meaning we had to take a taxi. (we have been taking the van as opposed to the electric scooters because of the cold in the mornings) Now, a taxi is only around $1.40 USD to take to school, but it the principle that makes it frustrating - each day we were no more than 5 minutes late.

This morning, I was late getting up, so it is my fault for slowing Rachel down. (Sorry Rachel!) We left and we only 2 minutes late! We took a taxi and got to school...BEFORE the van arrived. Oh geez. To make matters worse, Rachel forgot our lunch bag, which had our tupperware and her Sigg bottle inside. So that's what caused the Tuesday morning tears. We'll see if they turn up, if the driver brings them back to school at any point...
