Well it wasn't an hour earlier... but it was before 6:30 ... and what a huge difference a half hour makes. (ok, 40 minutes)
I went to bed with their lunches made... fresh muffins cooling from the oven and a plan. :D I was up at 6:20 and done with the whole shower, shave, dress zone by 6:45.
Coffee (Like the verb "coffee" which is short for "coffeeication" or "brain-sleep-ectomy") and then I cut up some fruit and put it on the table, with some muffins.
From there I headed up to wake up Geo and start dressing Ed. By 7:10 I had two dressed boys eating in the kitchen. Teeth brushed, book bags packed and totally fricken ready by 7:30. This gave them both a full half hour to watch a show and sort out the whole "being awake" thing. I got to wake up Z nicely and even read a bit of my FPs for few minutes!!
We all left at the same time... I kept 'em warm in the car at their bus stop and then... ta da... I get to work earlier than "on time".
This is such a sharp contrast to the "hurry up" vibe that eats mornings when we all wake up at 7:00... I'm very happy.
And yes... I know a lot of people get up buckets earlier than us... and blah blah blah... what ever.
I'm not really about you ... am I. :D
Last night was a total write off... That computer I was mak'en for my SIL... It all went south when we got back from dinner and I was doing the O/S install.
Another main board died, so I had to tap into my supply of hardware I was holding back for rebuilding Geo's computer.
In the end, I couldn't justify giving away a better computer than George was using... so I embarked on the path of most resistance... sigh.
I upgraded Geo's computer and used his spare parts to make her computer. Now she's got a PIII 733, 512 megs, 20 gigs, 128 meg video XP Pro workstation (she had a PII Win98 computer when this started) So she'll be happy. Oh, and I even managed to handle her semi-frantic late night phone call with "I forgot to download to my palm... can you tell me what appointments I have tomorrow?" ahhhhhh.... as I survey the floor with her old computer spread out across it... hahaha...

And I continue to hold out the feint hope that some French politician will lean into a microphone and suggest that the angry, disenfranchised, immigrant youth setting fire to their poverty stricken hovels... eat a little cake and try to calm down. Truly that would be a bad thing... but it would make a great sound bite for the 24 hour news networks.
ps. Jacque... nice of you to wade in. That big talk better swing a stick... anything less sends the message that the best way to get the French government to step up to action is to burn down the neighborhood and that cannot possibly be a good thing.
pps. This mess really is your own fault. The French are way to full of themselves to ever make a good "melting pot" for immigrants.

Do you really care whether or not google keeps every search term you ever enter? If it was possible for the government to read your entire hard disk.. would you really care? Why? What are you afriad of? Privacy? hahaha... come on... Privacy? If you're "average" you havent' had any privacy for decades... and that's not going to get better any time soon. But seriously... do you really care? Why? I mean, unless you're laundering money, and burying bodies in the basement... who cares if the "man" can see your dirty underpants?
