Ive noticed pretty thick traffic in and around schools between like 3pm and 4pm lately. Very strange.

With a teenager driving her sister to school, I now don't have to do anything in the morning other than make sure they are awake and out of the house.

The one even got up early today for Volleyball tri-outs and woke her sister up to take her in rather than me. WOO!!

See?

Your girls are on the road and you are not. It's an even trade.

I swear around here this is how it works:
The kids get a new car and head to school (1). Trophy mom decides she needs to head to the tennis club at the exact same time (2). Dad who used to go to the office at 7am now waits up too see the kids off so he is also on the road (3). The nanny realizes she has the WHOLE day free and heads to the beach (4).
Trophy wife has decided that with the kids gone it is a perfect time to redecorate. Window treatments (5), couches (6) and art work (7) are all delivered at 9am (from seperate vendors) and the decorator (8) and her "assistant" (9) are there to arrange it all.

So now, I head to work at 8:45 and instead of a pleasant drive with few cars I have an extra 9 vehicles per gated household to contend with filled with teenage drivers, cell phone yapping divas, self-important execs, illegal-driven delivery trucks and flamers.

I liked it better when mom banged the pool boy from 8-10am and then headed to the club.

And I head to work for 6:00am and surf TwoWheelFix for a couple of hours

A county near me has been on a school building binge and it has fucked traffic all to hell. There was one road that has had fucked up traffic for years being it was a main roadway and only 2 lanes. They finally built it into a 4 lane road and when they did traffic was awesome until they built schools all along it. Now traffic is worse than it has ever been.
