Carpool Update
I just wanted to ease everyone's worries and let you know that I've solved a majority of my carpool frustrations. After talking to my neighbor, the carpool guru, I now leave my house at precisely 3:31-3:32 PM and make my way to the school. If I leave at that exact time I can find a gap in the line and slide right in without making the kids wait too long. The final bell rings at 3:25, so by the time the older kids get out of school, pick my daughter up from the kindergarten area, and settle down by the tree, they only have to wait for about 5 minutes. (which is no less than they were waiting when I did get there early to fight in the line). I also moved the boys' carseats to the driver's side of the car, so the kids can file into the car from the sidewalk with no reprimands from the aide. Maybe, just maybe, I'll get this school thing figured out after all.
I can't believe she is in Kindergarten. It's so hard to get a routine down sometimes. It sounds likes it's already going smoother. Before you know it, you'll be an old pro.
