It Is Finished

Spring Break is finally over. I could feel a collective giddiness from the mothers as we all pulled up to the school and pushed them out, uh-I mean, dropped them off.

It feels like they were home for 348 days-sitting right next to me-talking loudly. I tried really hard to be a darling mom for those 348 days. Most of the time I succeeded. But on Friday, at 2:00 in the afternoon, my darlingness ran out. Over the course of many days, I had taken them to the park, the library, rollerskating, a movie, gymnastics, and they even had Nana sleepovers. I think I have a child hangover....but, I'll have a cupcake and a coke and all the world will be right again.
