She was ready to leave only 2 minutes after I wanted to leave. She would have been on time this morning!!!!!
But...
As we were driving out of the neighborhood, there was a girl on the side of the road trying to put her backpack together. My daughter said that she goes to the high school - she had seen her talking to another kid my daughter knows. So we stopped and offered her a ride. Daughter mentioned the mutual friend (so she wouldn't think she was being picked up by complete strangers...). Turns out she just moved into the neighborhood and was very grateful for the ride to school.
So they were 2 minutes late for school today. I thought that was fine.
(and I did tell her a couple of times (trying to be subtle) that I was pleased with how she got ready today. And then I probably blew it because I reminded her that she needs to get a report from the school on the number of absences/tardies she has so we know exactly where she stands. Sigh)
