ABSTRACT
Alisa lives in the state of rushness. She’s always rushing from oneevent to the next, and is often late no matter how much she rushes. Her children have become so resigned to her pattern of lateness that they are accustomed to her screaming demands to “Get in the car!” followed by the breakneck drive to school, school supplies left behind, rapid good-bye kisses among flying lunch boxes and bookbags.
