Appropriately dressed (the non muggle version)

This morning my son was in a 'high needs' mood shall we say....I've never worked out what triggers it but some days he just needs me more...this morning was already shaping up to be a no leaving the room (or even his line of vision) /no solo peeing/everything he is offered for breakfast is yuck/the juice in his cup isn't peach sort of morning...but then when you add the fact that we're running late...and I've still got to strap Max into his wheelchair/strap his feet/pack his thickener/medicine/splints/spare shoes for on top of the splints...so it's one of those mornings where everything is taking for ever..whilst I'm ATTEMPTING to be on time somewhere (for once!) when I leave the house;  I'm silently congratulating myself (whilst looking down at my feet) for wearing matching shoes, walking down the road smoothing the back of my (hairy) cardigan over my bum purely to check if I have a sock/pair of knickers (a discarded coathanger/pet dog/small child) attached and hanging there for all to see where I grabbed it from the washing pile this morning and threw it on without checking....having got to where I'm going I'm checking I'm not sporting a toothpaste dribble on my chin or a bogey hanging from my nose (oh don't be disgusted nobody wakes up perfect especially if you have no time to get yourself ready coz you're too busy making sure your child is immaculate!) in the mirror in the bathroom after having rushed out of the door running late. Now I'm sitting in public discreetly feeling for the label in the back of the neck of my top to check if it's the right way round. You'll be pleased to know all is as it should be (this time) but I feel I deserve a high 5.
