I was having a normal, fine, blah day today until I was pulling away from Jonathan's camp pick up. The director flagged me down (and I braced myself for what she might report to me), and she said this: "I have been meaning for 100 days to tell you how grateful we are to have you here and for all you do for our program [she was referring to the teachers' gifts, boxtops, etc]. You are a wonderful mom. I see a little bit of me in you." It went on (and on), but that was the gist. She even read this blog, and she said it made her smile because she keeps one too, and we joked a bit about who it's really for and who benefits from our efforts. Boy, did she make my day. I sat a little taller and fewer things bugged me for the rest of the day. Thanks!
