December 13

It was a rainy, rainy day. Like downpour-rainy.

I very briefly entertained the notion of hitting the pick-up lane at the elementary school, but ultimately decided to do as is my custom and walk Brady back to the car. So I grabbed my donut umbrella (because donuts... yum...) and schlepped over to the school shortly before the bell rang.

Why? Well, tomorrow this kid of mine turns 11. And I'm trying to savor his last moments --my last moments-- of elementary school. Even the ones that involve me slogging through wind and rain. Because every moment is precious. (And I spend plenty of time sitting in my car anyway.)
