Who doesn't feel a little weepy on their only child's first day of school?
Me: Are you ready for the big day?
Her: Of course, silly!
Me: Are you sure you want to do this?
Her: OK already, let's go!
And waited for the bus...
She smiled and waved from her seat the whole way around the corner. Can I breathe now? We raced inside to the back window to make sure they made it to the next stop.
At the end of the day it was business as usual, looking for bugs in the backyard and overwatering the plants.
I survived.
