French toast, eggs, and three tools for de-stressing on National Relaxation Day

Pro tip: if a child misses the bus, bring him straight to school and sign him in.
DO NOT STOP FOR FRENCH TOAST AND EGGS. 

This back-to-school "adventure" happened in the fall of 2008. My sister was pregnant with twins, and I offered to help out for a few weeks (close to her delivery date).

Her five-year-old son was entering kindergarten. "I'm happy to help, Sis."
I thought, "How hard can it be to get a kid on the school bus every day?"

Alarm clock? Check. Clothes, crayons, jumbo backpack? Check. Picture order form? What time does the bus leave? Where did that order form go? Wait, does it need a signature? No, you can't wear your pajamas. Oh, no. The bus just left.

I thought it would be okay to make a morning of it. I was wrong! In my defense, the downtime was so much fun... and the French toast was delicious.

Next year the twins enter kindergarten. I'll be at the massage clinic.
