But no. School start is the start of lousy traffic season, when my commute takes at least fifteen more minutes (and on random days doubles). And we have to leave the house twenty minutes earlier in order to mostly reliably get my husband to his train. (My commute sucks at 45 minutes- 1 hour plus- his is abhorrent- an hour and a half, which is only partially mitigated by being mostly on the train.)RobinHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325359641194305097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-10332819197600749492014-09-08T11:33:16.154-04:002014-09-08T11:33:16.154-04:00So ...

But of all the things that went wrong, it's the girls' room being torn up that sounds the worst. I can't even imagine having to step over all the junk my one daughter has just to go to bed.
