This morning was crazy! The night before was Meet the teacher night & I had stayed up late filling out the myriads of paperwork involved with school, trying not to get overwhelmed by the amount of information my tired brain was struggling to absorb. People who know me, know that I don't do well when I'm sleep deprived. So anyway, in the morning I was rushing around trying to get ready for work & gently rushing the kids, packing lunches while simultaneously trying to keep an upbeat mental attitude so as not to stress the kids out....I kissed them goodbye, watched them scooter off, fought the urge to stay and watch some more 'cause I was already late for work. I cried on my 15 minute commute, pulled myself together, & walked into the office only to realize that I was scheduled an hour later than usual. My awesome coworker had thought to give me more time at home that day! That made me cry more- the thoughtfulness of the gesture as much as the time that I missed with my kids. I could have walked them to school. Sigh.
