Bribes

Is it wrong to bribe my children with Dairy Queen and beg forgiveness for making them late to school today?

1- Jay is in Tucson again, and I hate being a single mom
2- Suzee is still mad at me and cried every hour on the hour all night long
3- Lilly woke me up at 3:39 am to tell me she threw up, which meant giving her a bath, changing bedding and starting laundry.

As a result, I SLEPT IN until 8:05. We usually leave the house by 8:10, so we hurried and got to the school as the tardy bell was ringing at 8:25. I drove to school with bare feet. No time for shoes. Why didn't I set an alarm? Jay's my alarm, and he's gone!
