David rolled around on the floor this morning announcing he did not want to go to school, and Rose announced she was scared about the upcoming math and geography quizzes, but everyone made it out the door, hallelujah.

I went to the post office, UPS, and Safeway. I wrote poetry for 2 hours and worked on a book review for one.

I ate lunch alone. It was actually a tiny bit lonely.

We all had a great time after school playing on the playground. David got thoroughly soaked kicking a big red rubber ball through puddles. All the pick-up moms exclaimed over how much we had missed each other.
