Running Late

This morning, X woke me up at 7 to remind me that she needed to be at school by 7:30 to meet up with her prospective tennis coach. I usually wake up way before that, my need for coffee leading me to the kitchen. But with less than half an hour to work with, I had to choose: coffee or grooming.

I chose coffee. Fortunately, we just got this electric kettle that boils water in a miraculously short period of time. And it is clear, so you can see the miracle in action. Still, between throwing on clothes, making and drinking coffee, I was just ready to go in time. Yes, I have to tell you that I didn't even brush my teeth.

As we pulled up to the school, X suddenly said that she wished someone would go in with her. "Like me?" I asked. "Well, you cleaned up," she said. I gave her a couple of questions to ask, wished her luck, and went home to get cleaned up for Pilates.

Wise choice! I think our mother would have chosen differently. I still have only seen her without make-up a handful of times. But that's part of her charm :)

I've been thinking about this post a lot: what makes us presentable? My idea certainly varies. I think I can do coffee with a stick of gum as a chaser.
