I did a few calculations in my head as to how many miles I drive a week just getting Bella to and from school. It is 13.5 miles one way, so 27 miles round trip, and I make 2 round trips a day totaling 54 miles a day... 5 days a week = 270 miles... wow...
All that being said, I would drive twice that a week if I had to because I absolutely love her school. Plus, my Dad took me to school every morning and my Mom picked me up everyday in the afternoon. It was a bit of a drive just like it is for me, so a part of me feels like I am just paying my dues. My parents did it for me, and I gladly do it for my B-bo. It makes it easy though when I pick her up everyday and she tells me how much fun she had at school that day, and how much she loves to learn! Warms my soul actually <3
Awww! Plus, it's that much more time that you get to spend with her. That's what I think in the morning...I have 30 minutes to get Grant ready...and while I still have things to do to get me ready, I think of how special this one-on-one time is with my little boy. Seriously, slap me...I have a kid.
ReplyDeleteI love our conversations and singing sessions in the morning on the way to school. Right now she really wants to talk to me and wants my attention, and I am trying to remember that and embrace it because before I know it, her needs for me will change. So for now I am soaking up all the love she heaps on me everyday <3 She really is a sweet thing. And she can't wait to meet Grant this Spring... brings it up about once a week :)
