Late.

I was reminded via email message that senior pictures for the yearbook were due. Today.

That reminded me of how our photographer had asked me yesterday if I could download the file onto a disc and get it over to the school in time for the deadline so she wouldn't have to make the hour-long round-trip. It seemed like such a simple task, of course I wouldn't mind.

Then I forgot. But my memory was jogged by the blast email from the school... reminding me.

That, I decided, was par for the course today.

We were up late last night. Too late for a school/work night. We had a pressing family schedule today.

Since Shi has done so well at getting herself up in the morning, Bill decided to give himself a few extra minutes on the alarm. My alarm sounded first, with only 20 minutes to get Shi out the door. I checked to see the light peeking from under her bedroom door. No light.

She scrambled to get ready and out the door to pick up our cute neighbor for Seminary. {Late}

After a morning of laundry (I think my washer is on the fritz again), I saw the aforementioned email reminder and quickly tried to load the picture onto a disc (the requested format). It wouldn't load. I ran upstairs to ask Lex, who was still sleeping soundly (10:20am), only to discover that she needed to leave for work in 15 minutes. Among mumbles of why her dual alarm system keeps failing her, she told me that she didn't have time to help because she was running {late}.

Since we love to play musical cars around here, I needed to drive Lex to work, and really wanted to get that picture on a disc before we headed out, eliminating the need for an additional errand. After a quick call to Bill and another attempt using another kind of disc, the picture was ready.

{On time}

(unless the DVD disc I put it on doesn't work as hoped, which would then render the photo late)

It's beautiful, don't you think?

More fun Shilo news: she is on the Homecoming Court.

The students nominate 4 girls and 4 guys from each grade to be on the Court. At the Homecoming game next week, the King/Queen, Prince/Princess, Duke/Duchess, and Lord/Lady will be announced. Shi says she's sure she won't win - and I remind her that it's an honor just to be nominated.

Better run. Bill and I have a date at the temple and I can't be late.
