Another not so smooth morning

So today, Rachel goes to school just fine but Joseph not so fine. I dropped the girls off at school at 7:30 for chorus (Rachel gets to go hang out, so I don't have to drive back and forth, she only manages to go some of the time, because she's usually fighting with me and not ready to go when we have to leave for Sarah not to be too late). I come home and Joseph is still here. He has made a big mess with the school bookcase. He tells me he is looking for 2 library books that are due. I help him find one. He doesn't want to go to school, because he will get a detention because the books are overdue. The school calls and warns parents about this, but I haven't gotten the call yet. But he's worried, so he decides he's not going to school then, and he says he doesn't feel good either. Well, he missed the bus so I have to drive him to school, it's a good thing Rachel went to chorus this morning, or she would be late for school. He tries to make a deal, if he gets his hair cut, can he stay home. Which would be a great deal, except he wants to dye the roots black and the tips bleach blond and have it gelled up. I was thinking a normal hair cut and he could stay home. I'm just a little torked at him, he had hours yesterday at look for these books, but instead spent the time in front of the TV. He's really going to be mad when he gets home and finds the TV unplugged in my room.
