Day 278
“I could do it.”
The words escape my mouth before I can pull them back.
I’m standing at the curb talking
to a mom I don't know in a minivan. She
explains to me how her kindergarten daughter hates the before-school program at
my boys’ school and she’s looking for someone to put her on the bus.
“Really? You could?”
I understand I’m making a
long-term commitment if I agree.
It’s the start of the school year with hundreds of mornings before
summer vacation.
More than that I think of the
fun of mixing it up a bit in my house full of rambunctious boys. What will happen if we add a little
blond girl to our morning routine?
I imagine fun art projects with glitter and feathers. I picture quiet mornings reading books
all five of us snuggled on the over-sized family room couch.
“Yes. I think it will be fun.”
