This morning I am catching up on things at home.
Because last week I was never here.
And that was fine by me.
Last week during the time I normally get stuff done (read: while E is in preschool), I had my own assignments at school. One morning I attended a class that a preschol teacher presented about helping kids with fine motor skills. Then I went shopping for Breakfast with Santa- my favorite event of the year that I have the privilege of helping with for the second time. Then I sold Rwandan pens and necklaces at our school's craft fair. Then I stayed for our monthly prayer meeting (when we pray for each teacher, family, and staff member at the school... it's a precious time.) Then I had two days of prep for Breakfast with Santa where I met a bunch of new (and quite fabulous) preschool families. Then I went to dinner with 3 ladies from preschool (and one new-to-town friend!) on Friday night. Then I hosted co-hosted a baby shower for one of my best friends who I met when our kids were "randomly" put together in their Toddler Class our first year at preschool.
Y'all.... I freakin' love that school.
Yes, I realize that E benefits from her experience at preschool.... but... let's be honest... so do I. I have made friends, found kindred spirits, had an outlet, had a break, met people who genuinely love my child... and who love me.
That 3-hour segment of time I'm blessed with 4 days a week gives everyone in our family something special.
And I'm gonna miss it a lot next year.
Sigh.
