30 Days of Thankfulness: Day Seven

I am thankful for the most wonderful freedom that I am provided.  I can read.  Not only is this ability a privilege not afforded everyone in the world, but it is one that has historically been heavily guarded.  I read for entertainment.  I read for information.  I read to see the joy of storytelling spread to my daughter (and soon my son).  I read because I love it and hope that my children will too.

Future Camera Toting, Bus Delaying Momma

Ahhh, the first day of school.  Kids getting on buses, backpacks bouncing down sidewalks and parents frantically trying to get in just 'one more' picture before their child is late for class.  Thank you dear lord for it not being me yet!  We have a couple more years before I will be that frantic Momma begging for one more hug and toting my camera to the bus stop only to delay the route with four posed pictures every foot closer to the bus....

We can all look ahead and say that won't be us.  We won't be THAT parent.  Oh stop kidding yourself!  We will ALL be THAT parent when Kindergarten comes.  Let's just hope we won't be the only one doing it still in JR High....

So for us Momma's and Papa's who still have ones to young for school, we get to relax a little while longer before the 'back-to-school' rush applies to us.  Let's enjoy these years whether we are all under the same roof, or all huddled in front of computers saying our "I love you's" and "good nights".  We can let that stress, pride, joy and sorrow come tomorrow; today we will hug our babies and send them off to full day daycare instead....Wait....Someone tell me what the difference is??
