Not very long ago I told my children that I was planning a business trip. My middle child, the worrier, started asking questions, right away.. When are you leaving? When are you coming back? Who is taking you to the airport? Where are you staying? Who are you going...
At the start of this past school year, we needed to change the kids bus route around a bit. The bus had been driving right past my office quite a while after I put the kids on it. It really bothered me that they spent all of the extra time sitting there when they...
