And a few things that were NOT in my plans for today:

Confront 17yo abt scraping my car and knocking off his car's parking light when he left for school this morning.

Explain that one never EVER leaves the scene of any accident, however minor and however late for school one might be, without assessing the damage and, if possible, informing the owners of all cars involved.

Consult with the other two parents (by phone and e-mail) about how to handle the consequences for above incident.

Drive both boys to 3 different stores this evening so that 17yo could buy necessary supplies to repair the damage from said incident.

Sigh. I'm whining, which I believe is a no-no while FLYing. But this whole thing ate an awful lot of my time and energy this afternoon and evening.
