Aw, mac. He's still trying.

Poor mac and mom. At least he was sorry for being a pill.

Poor mac. Poor msbelle.
The only significant voter fraud in this country in the last 30 years has involved absentee ballots, but none of these efforts at "preventing fraud" have been aimed at absentee ballots. I'm sure it's a coincidence that a large proportion of absentee voters are military and members of the military tend to vote Republican.

yeah David I am trying to get him as much sleep as possible. In bed by 9pm. He is only 12, so it shouldn't be the same as a 17 year old. We'll work more tonight on getting the alarm set where he has time to snooze it once or twice. god knows I love my sleep, but then again, when I hit the snooze all morning, I can actually get up showered dressed and out the door in 20 minutes if I need to. mac cannot, or at least will not.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The most wonderful thing about wearing a uniform in high school was being able to roll out of bed at fuck'o'clock AM and get dressed in the dark. Didn't matter what I pulled out of the closet, as long as it covered all the necessary bits I'd be fine.
Then junior year I started driving myself to school instead of taking the bus and that's more or less when my morning coffee habit began.

I am trying to get him to shower at night and lay out clothes IN THE BATHROOM for the next day. It could not be any easier. We may start loading the car the night before also, to get into that habit before school starts and then we just have the bookbag already in the car each night. One less thing to forget.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think it's worst when they're in middle school - around 14.
