What a terrible morning. And it's only 9:02 AM.
My sister and I both somehow managed to sleep through three alarms and not wake up until 7:30, when my first class starts at 7:13.
Before I can even get into the shower, Connor calls me from school and tells me that I need to get into class ASAP and finish our stupid pioneer life project or my teacher will fail me.
Or something to that extent, I'd just woken up and was annoyed at the thought of my rude first hour teacher trying to contact me when I wasn't at school. I don't know why, I just didn't like that.
So after yelling at poor Connor (and I have no idea what I said, you'd have to ask him, I just recall yelling) and showering and getting ready for school, my mom came home from work and took us to school.
But actually, I drove us. Gotta get that driving practice in. And I didn't really feel comfortable driving us (I probably haven't driven anywhere in about a week and still have only driven a few hours), I did anyway. And the whole short ride to the school was filled with my mothers own uneccessary yelling about all the things I was doing wrong. To her credit, I was driving like a maniac but definitely not as badly as she made it out to be.
Then I got to school and realized I left my lunch at home. And my wallet.
And I had a small pity party in the girls restroom before coming into class.

But! As a good friend once told me, Jesus is still on the throne. I know this is true. He's probably laughing at how pathetic my life is. I'll try to laugh, too.
And on the bright side, I got 9 hours of sleep last night. I don't think I've gotten nine hours of sleep in a long time, probably not even over break.
And the weather is wonderful today! First day in months I haven't had to wear a winter coat.
And now I'm sitting in Photo waiting for it to end, with the back door open letting in the crisp, spring-ish air.

Thank God for all the good things on earth to make coping with the bad easier.
