It's now 4:59 am. I'm sitting in the car in 38 degree temps at a local Methodist church.
Wha??
There are 2 slots left in a preschool class that I really want Samuel to be in next year. I had heard crazy rumors from my neighbors of people getting here at 4:30 am to wait in line. Now I'm one of them.
Funny thing is… I'm the ONLY one. Sitting in this empty parking lot by my lonesome. Drove in and felt 2 things (ok maybe 3): 1- smug (I might have hollered). 2- relieved, I think I got Sam a spot! 3- completely stupid! I'm one of THEM – a crazy mother who fell for it!
Good thing I brought something to eat and read. 🙂
ETA: I got my spot!! I was number #1. And people started showing up in the 5 o'clock hour…including 3 cute neighbors. Lots of chatting and laughing. And I made new friends too. Happy to have a solid spot for Samuel on the days, T/Th (and price!) that I wanted. Mission accomplished. Now I need a nap. 🙂
