This morning, I was thinking about how lucky I am, how I love our routine. We all leave the house together, get in the car, arrive at MrMan's daycare. We wave to the security guard, MrMan and I say goodbye to Sam and head inside while Sam drives a few more blocks to the parking garage. I take MrMan to his classroom, wish the security guard a good day, and walk one block to my office. How many moms are lucky enough to work one block from their children?
Later this morning, I was again thankful - I wanted some coffee, but realized I'd left my wallet at home. So I walked the few blocks to Sam's office and met up with him to visit the nearby ATM. Got a kiss and a $20 bill. And in both directions, got to spy on MrMan playing outside. Love it! These moments of watching MrMan, doing his thing, oblivious to my presence, make me feel like I might burst with joy.
