I thought I would have it all under control. That the morning of Raven's first day of school would be nice and breezy. That we'd get there with plenty of time to spare.
Despite my best intentions, it still turned out to be a crazy beautiful morning anyway where we made it just in the nick of time. As per usual.
A lot of emotions. Some tears. A bit of forgetting.
"Did you bring my hat?" Raven asked me in the middle of us taking a selfie in the car.
I didn't. So much for my effort in cleaning it and getting it prepared yesterday.
In a span of two seconds, I was able to capture her emotions at the thought of having to play in the shade simply because we forgot her hat at home. Caught in between two selfies of me looking so weirdly white.
Needless to say, I had to buy another hat at the school office, just to come back to see her in line crying (again) because two of her classmates had the big Cinnamoroll backpacks while she only got the small one.
Sigh.
Kids.
But she's amazing, though. These may be crazy times sometimes but I know these are the memories I would look back someday with a smile.
I'm here for the ride. I'm all in.
So now I got time on my hands again while she's in school and I got the day off. Blogging and journaling while actively ignoring the mess in the kitchen from this morning's lunchbox rush.
I'll deal with that later.
For now, I'ma just sit here and listen to Olivia Rodrigo's 'Vampire' on repeat.
