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.
