Our days have been a bit crazy lately with my work schedule, Mike's work, and down a car. The younger boys have had the short end of the stick and had to deal with uncertain pick up schedules after school. No two days have been the same and for them...this has become a true nightmare!!!Day ONE: Wednesday, as I went to pick them up Ian got in the car and tears were streaming down his face. O had his hands around his back and continued to say, "Ian it's okay." "Mom, I told Ian it was okay...". I asked Ian what was the matter. He said I got into the carpool lane and you never came and Owen never came and then I remembered you didn't have a car so I went to bus. I reached back and gave him a hug, as O was there too, giving him comfort.
Day TWO: Thursday I drove to school to get the boys as I do on most days and Ian was in line but there was no O. There was a panic look on his face. Ian got into the car and said, "Mom, Owen is not here, we can't leave yet!!", (FYI, I may not be mother of the year, but in case you are wondering I would not leave w/o my son! :D ) "OK Ian, I'll pull forward and see where he is." So I pulled forward and went inside to see where O was. Meanwhile Ian was in the car. The teachers inside called the class room and there was O, he forgot how he was getting home today, bus/or carpool. When I got back to the car, Ian said, "It's okay mom, I said a prayer and I know that Heavenly Father will take care of Owen just like he took care of me yesterday!"...
Am I blessed or what....
