School Drop Off

Today was the first day of me transporting the little woman to school.  I only have to do the mornings and then early release afternoons.  The rest of the time she rides the kindergarten bus that drops at Little Tigers. 
I never thought I would be one of those drop off parents on a regular basis.  I really don't believe in it if it isn't necessary.  I don't want to switch her mid stride, so we are getting a boundary exception.  The only way for her to get to school is either catching the bus at Little Tigers or me driving her.  I would have to drive her to Little Tigers anyway.
So as I am dropping her off today I remembered that I have done this before.  Dave and I lived in Hearthwood when we first got married and his kids came to live with us.  Then we moved to Battle Ground.  I spent almost three months making two daily trips to Hearthwood so as to keep them in the same class for that year.  That 30 mile round trip twice a day makes the five mile trip once a day look like a piece of cake.
Next year she will go to the school this neighborhood goes to and the following year they will both go.  All good and I am one of those drop off parents, but with a reason.
