Slice of Lime-Panic


This is the look of a woman who just handed her car keys to her newly licensed driver...
on a dark night...
when it's raining...
and said driver is taking her two siblings out for fast food.

This is the look that occurs as I hear the garage door open...
and the van back down the driveway...
after I've delivered the "All passengers will be silent and keep their extremities to themselves and the radio will be off because a call informing me of 3 dead children will make me a dead mom" speech.

Yeah, this is one of those changes I am REALLY not happy about. However, like Suldog, I am pretty adaptable even in the face of unwelcome change. May I say, I'm looking forward to the change where I am confident about this whole thing and not beset by panic when my kids go out for a snack.

Breathing deeply and being zen like Logo....I am the pothole the van swerves around...
AAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! It's not working!

(Ok, phew...they are back safely.)
