I00 Days

Today was the 100th day of school. Lots of hoopla and celebration. Which, if you think about it, is only for the teachers. All the mothers are only thinking, "now it's just a downward countdown to summer." Boo hoo. I thought about counting the days that are left. My insides started to quiver and I felt a tear form in my eye, so I refrained. Tomorrow I'll regain my composure. Then I give a quiet cheer-- "Hip, hip, hooray. We've survived 100 days."
