The
Carpool Doesn't Show
By Jenette Zubero
What
opportunities are available to us when the car pool doesn't show?
Five
Ways to Take the Opportunity When The Carpool Doesn't Show
*Getting the kids off to school can be hectic enough. When the carpool
forgets your children, find a way to take the opportunity.
1. Take the opportunity to relax. There's nothing you can do about the
carpool not showing. Deal with it.
2. Take the opportunity to meet your neighbors. This is a good
opportunity to meet your neighbors, and quickly! "Hi neighbor. I
know it's 7:00 a.m. and you're retired, but if you could find a way to
get my children to school, I'd be forever grateful and will return the
favor whenever it's needed."
3. Take the opportunity to cut your morning routine back. Through your
suit on, brush your hair and get those kids to school yourself. The
adrenaline rush could add a nice urgency to your day.
4. Take the opportunity to learn the bus schedule. You may end up not
needing that carpool if you children become accustomed to going to
school via the buss system.
5. Take the opportunity to dust off those bikes. If your children are
old enough, let them ride their bikes to school. It provides exercise
and fresh air for the beginning and the end of the day.
*Morning routines can be rushed; and when someone doesn't do their
part, it can add stress. Instead of getting upset when the carpool
forgets to show, find a way to take the opportunity.
