First, you mustn't be running "not quite as on time as you would like" (termed as "late" in some parts of the world). In particular you must not be doing so for a second consecutive day, because this is generally frowned upon, thereby increasing your stress and frustration level while you attempt to restore good graces in the eyes of the rest of the world, or at least your children.
Also vital to the successful execution of a Thursday morning is drawing the logical conclusion that on "strings day" (referenced more formally as the day String Instrument Class is held), everything will occur at no more than half speed. In particular, the morning drop-off line will crawl while youths of various sizes wrestle with the removal of, in some cases rather large (perhaps bigger even than said youth), string instruments from running vehicles without the assistance of a parental figure. So, when choosing your days to be not nearly ahead of schedule, I recommend avoiding strings day as a candidate. In my observation, strings day will throw any well-oiled morning into the hamper of mornings-worth-forgetting, so I recommend excessive diligence in one's approach to such days.
Lastly, your daughter must not forget her viola book in your auto after you've dropped her off at school (with barely enough time to have breakfast). The non-forgetting of things is vital to the well being of a Thursday morning. Failure to ensure your child's completeness of stuff removal when being dropped off is a recipe for the certain doom of any day of the week, much less the most not-quite-Friday-but-so-very-close day of them all. Having to return to the school on such a day (and under conditions noted above) will quite certainly de-pleasant-ify your morning, if not your day.
