Not a good mornin' in the Chicken Coop!

~The Rooster and The Colonel~
???Have you ever felt like they look???
Golly...Mother Hen failed to make sure everyone's ducks were all in a row last night!!! Normally, our mornings are smooth sailin'...BUT...boy howdy...today was all but smooth sailin.
As I mentioned before, the Colonel is detail oriented. He can tell you what and when everything is due; the problem is he can't find it when it's ready to be turned in! He has not been bitten by the organized bug! So...
the Colonel had the following issues right as we needed to be walking out the door:
  • could not locate his hoodie
  • was frantically (slowly) looking for his shoes
  • had a "braces" issue which caused very slow eating
  • realized he had not completed a homework assignment due today
  • had brain cramps while trying to complete the assignment quickly
  • forgot to pack a lunch
  • blamed everyone for hiding the lunch bag (eventually found it in the vehicle)

This, of course, upset the Turkey immensely, as the minutes were ticking by! He reminded us frequently, what time it was going to be when he flew into school. We have not been this late all year. In fact, we have not been this late to school...ever!!!

Everything finally came together and we loaded up. We only had to turn around once for an attitude adjustment!!! As we song our "Have a good day" song, I just had to chuckle! The Colonel and the Turkey hopped out and before the door closed I reminded them, "Now, go on to Chapel and learn about God!!!"

After all...we were only 14 minutes late!!!
