Does anyone else's cortisol level shoot through the roof in the last 30 secs before bundling small children off to school? I'm fortunate in that a friend takes mlleelk in exchange foe me wrangling hers into a swimming cossie every week, so baby elk can have a lie in - which always bloody needs having been at the all night buffet, but it still always goes like this....
mlleelk: it's not uniform day, I want to wear my orange trousers
me: is it?, ok ok, what else?
mllelk: (10 mins, and half dressed later) can I put my non-uniform clothes in a bag to take with me because I'm not sure....
me: Right. Take those off. Put this on.
Text: is it toy day? [little friend] thinks it is
Reply: no idea....is it non-uniform day?
it is neither toy day or noon-uniform day
Me: take those orange trousers off and put your tights on
Me: put your tights on
Me: put your tights on
Me: go and find a jumper
Me: put your jumper on
mlleelk: I couldn't find one
