The early mornings are starting to feel really early

The newness of the school year is definitely beginning to wear off, and the mornings are getting a little rougher around here.  Thomas in particular is no longer jumping out of bed, although he is still making it to the bus in the mornings.  I think I might suggest that tomorrow be a day where I drive them so he can sleep in a bit.  Catherine has entered the phase of life where she is completely convinced that her parents are the dumbest people on earth and are put here only to make her life difficult.  Since she has decided that she knows everything, not only will she not listen to us, but she feels the need to make sure Thomas knows what he is doing as well.  As you can imagine, this does not particularly go over well because a) Thomas doesn't really want to hear it and b) Thomas has more common sense than Catherine and realizes that she doesn't always have the answers she thinks she has.  The disagreements are constant and it is beginning to wear on my nerves...especially first thing in the morning!
