That is a rhetorical question.
Maybe a better question would be "Should I feel sorry?"
Let me explain.
This week is a testing week at my daughters' school. The testing is for sophomores. My daughters are not sophomores. One is a freshman and one is a junior. So the testing does not apply to them.
I got a phone call from the school telling me that only the sophomores need to go to school at the regular time (7:30 a.m.) and that all of the other students don't have to be there until 9:30 a.m. Then the voice on the message said that the buses would be running on the regular schedules.
What?
Well, Haley's Big Sis was all over that.
She would not be going to school until 9:30 a.m. Done deal. She also wants to drive to school all week, because that would be for convenient for me. Sweet thing. (Can you hear the sarcasm when you read that?)
That is just fine, but I was still stuck on the buses running at regular time while my child doesn't need to be there until 9:30 a.m.
So yesterday morning I asked Haley's bus driver what was up. Would she be picking Haley up in the morning this week or not? She told me that she would check and let me know when she brought Haley back in the afternoon.
So I waited.
When the bus came around the corner I ran out to talk to her. She said that Haley had a note from the teacher, but the gist was that Haley could go to school at regular time and the bus would come and get her or I could take her later. It was up to me.
So I asked her if Haley would have something to do. Would the teacher and helpers be there for her? The answer was Yes.
So I said "See you in the morning."
What would you have done?
Another rhetorical question.
I did what I did for several reasons.
Believe me there was a little voice inside my head saying "You could sleep in every day this week!"
But, there was another little voice inside my head that said "Haley won't."
So, if Haley is up and the bus will come to get her and her teacher is there for her she is going to school.
Done deal.
