I Can Get Used to This

Guess where I was at 8:10 AM today?

At home.

Uh-huh.

Normally I would be in the car with my two eldest kiddos, en route to school.
But I wasn't yesterday...or today...nor will I be most days between September and June in the forseeable future.

This is the really good part about your kid getting their license.
The car left, headed for school, and I wasn't in it!

Weird...but oh, so cool.
I think it took me all of 13.5 seconds to get used to the idea.

I've always liked bringing the kids to school and picking them up afterwards, and I thought I'd be feeling pretty melancholy about missing out on that.
But, surprisingly, like I said...13.5 seconds, give or take a second.
I'm just seeing this as sibling bonding time now. :)

When my 3 kids were age 4 years and under, this day wasn't even on my radar.
I thought I'd be taking them everywhere, forever.

Yeah, I can get used to this.
