Let the dog in!

I’ve joined a new group today. Well, really, it was last night. I, like many other mothers I am told, felt real dread. That deep in the heart, slump your shoulders, hunch your back dread. What caused this internal turmoil? Two words: snow day. We already had one yesterday but Kid’s school is Tuesday and Thursday, so all we missed was a swim class. Today was the day. The day to have 3 1/2 hours to myself while she played hard and ate lunch with friends, a day I have not had for two weeks, since that pesky holiday caused her class to be one hour (barely enough to finish my latte with the moms at the bakery) before the Thanksgiving party. Then no school because of Thanksgiving. Who came up with that? I think it would be lovely for her to have class on Thanksgiving. We didn’t eat until 6pm anyway, what with the turduckin cooking….but that is another post. And what better way for our family to spend time together than truly appreciating each other after a 3 1/2 hour absence? Now, it is dark outside and I feel that now familiar dread creeping in. I’ll say my prayers tonight. Me, and the other ten thousand moms on the island.
