A SIGH OF RELIEF

For me and I'm sure for other mothers out there, this had to be the longest day in history. I have taken for granted these past 5 years that I could just call daycare to check on my little girl. Today was a totally different story. School lets out at 1:45 and it seemed like that time would never come. On top of that, I had to allow the bus enough time to get back to daycare and unload before I could call to make sure my little one got on the bus and was safe at daycare. After that I had to wait until 5 before I could leave work..... I could not stand it anymore, I had to leave, I left at 4:45, ( I know, I am such a "rebel", not really). I could not get there fast enough, I wanted to be the first person she told how her day went. With much anticipation, I came through the front doors at daycare and walked as fast as I could to meet her outside on the playground. As she was playing in the dirt and rocks with those locks of curls as tight as they could be, she saw me and started running. The first thing she said was, "Mommy, today I went to big school and had fun", what a relief.....maybe "Big School" won't be so bad after all!
