Waiting For The Day....

My phone alarm was set for 7:00 this morning, I woke up at 7:50 & yelled to the girls Holy Crap we need to get up! This is two days in a row my alarm did not go off. Thank goodness though I am pretty organized & had everything ready last night. We just had to grab the water bottles out of the freezer, drinks out of the fridge, & put their lunches in bags. Abbey looked like a zombie & was just standing around. I couldn't give her a list of things to do, I had to tell her after each step what to do next. It was pretty funny & hectic around here.

We get to the school & I tell the girls, see, we're late, the parents are leaving. But some were just arriving too so that made it ok in my book. I go get the girls in the assigned areas, double knot their shoes, give them hugs & kisses & told them that I would be back to watch their performance later. Another round of hugs & kisses & I was off. I'm half way across the gym & I look back to see if Schane' is looking at me, just to see if she was going to blow me kisses. She wasn't so I look at her a second longer & wonder when she's going to think she's to cool to stop blowing me kisses when all of a sudden I hear mom. I look back because I am the only parent left of course & there she is standing up on the bleachers blowing me a kiss & doing our secret sign language goodbye. I blow her a kiss back & do our secret sign language in return to let her know I love her back.

I walk out of the gym wondering again when is she going to stop doing our secret goodbye. She is going into the third grade you know. Pretty soon I'm going to be chopped liver & I'll be teary eyed because it will no longer matter. For right now though I feel proud that she yells my name in the gym, stands up, & blows me kisses. How cool is that?!
