Busy, busy, busy day

Tuesdays this spring have just been a bear.  Today was no exception, just busier than normal.  Let me outline.

6am - Alarm goes off.  Girls are up, so I get dressed, get decent, get them up, get them dressed, pottied, teeth brushed, hair brushed, and beds made. 
6:45am - Breakfast for all.  During breakfast, I make sure L's backpack is ready for school, I have a change of clothes for E in my bag, check email, and take care of odds and ends that need to be done (e.g. start a load of laundry, check my daily list, grade college stuff).
7:15am - Clean up breakfast.  Get girls ready to go.  Let girls watch cartoons for 15 minutes.
7:40am - Gather things to leave the house, get on shoes, help E potty (again), get water and snacks, and then out the door.
7:50am - Arrive at preschool.  Drop L off in classroom, go back to car.

8:45am - Arrive at airport, drop off Mrs. Y, E returns to normal with a zillion questions.  Drive back toward home.
