Cold day

Schools are closed today across our state because the temperatures hit below zero, particularly with the wind chill. Austin was So Excited to be able to extend his weekend. Tara's pre-school is open, and we gave her the choice to stay home if she wanted to. She said she would prefer to go to school. Imagine that!

So I dropped her off at school before heading to work. Mondays are usually a little harder for all of the children (and the parents). But Tara strutted into her classroom with a smile and got busy. I was talking to her teacher for a few minutes and had to look for Tara before I left. She was already hanging out with her friends. I guess I was the one that was most sad that we had to part ways. We have a lot of fun together on the weekends. Good-bye Tara! I shouted across the room. "Bye Mommy!" she said, as she gave me a reassuring grin and blew me a kiss. Funny how sometimes the children are the ones comforting us.
