GET OUT OF THE CAR!!!

For anyone who has yet to experience the carpool drop off line at an elementary school I must warn you -- it is brutal. Basically we have a 60 second window to get goodbyes out of the way and two kids out of the car. If it doesn't happen we have sour looks, teacher escorts helping the kids out and general panic.This is 60 seconds filled with pure, unadulterated anxiety. I am not sure if it is the way the teachers rush the kids out of the car or the impatient parents behind me but it fills me with dread each and every day. Then as I pull away I am left with the aftermath of guilt for not taking my time and telling the rest of the world to piss off and wait 2 more minutes. My girls are looking for a kiss and hug goodbye and I'm going, "yeah, yeah, hug, kiss, GET THE HELL OUT OF THE CAR!!! I'M GOING TO GET INTO TROUBLE! CAN'T YOU SEE HOW URGENT THIS IS????!!!" I am just thankful I am no longer in grade school. That's a lot of damn pressure.
