I am trying to take deep breaths and repeat the mantra " Calm. . . . I am calm . . . . everything will work out . . . ."
Just trying to sort out how to get the kids home from school in this new town i'm in. I've always worked from home, and we lived only 2 blocks from school, so they could walk home with friends, no big deal.
Now we are staying on a highway with no sidewalk, and they have a bit of a walk. I keep picturing them . . . . in a snowstorm . . . . on the highway as it turns the corner . . . . my babies . . . a car slides . . . . okay, melodramatic, i know. they'll be fine, we'll maybe meet someone who can give them a ride home or something. There is no public bus, but there is a small community shuttle which may work out. sort of.
Working mothers have so much stress.
I hope you find out a less stressful way of getting the kids home from school. And that you meet some new people who can become friends.
ReplyDeleteMy kids were able to walk home together from school until this year, as they're now in different schools. I'm currently taking Toto in to school every morning and picking him up (by public transport) to get him used to his new route. My heart is in my mouth when I think of him doing it all on his own... Boo is still only 2 blocks away, so I'm not really worried about him.
