Car Line

This isn't our first car line experience. BUT, it is our first car line experience with the entire school. Last year, her school offered half days for preK, so when I picked her up in car line there were only a few other cars and it was just kids her age. Now it is different. Now I am line with all the other moms. Going to this private school means no bus rout. Not that I would want her on the bus but it just means every student is being picked up in car line.


Yes, I am that mom that gets to her school an hour before school is over. I am that mom that sits in care line jamming to music, reading a book, and doing school work. I am that mom that freaks out if it is 2:20 and I am not there yet.

I don't have to be first. Honestly, I am never first. I will sit in a parking space until another car gets first in line. I am second though, or third..fourth..fifth. As long as I am under 10, I am happy. Why?? Why are there moms like that? Well, for me.. I would rather sit in a still care, chill out for 45 minutes, catch a glimps of her walking to and from recess, be a first to pick her up, be home by 3:30 instead of sitting in stop and go car line for 30 minutes and get home at 4:00. It makes sense to me. I love it.

And this people, THIS is the joy of my day. Every day, THIS is what I see.


THIS is why I am THAT mom...

She knows I am first. She knows to look for me. It makes her giggle. It fills my heart with happiness. She loves it too.. I think

For some reason, blogger is still not letting me upload video. This is a bummer because I have the cutest video of her walking in line, giggling when she sees me, and then turning around and waving to me.
