Last Day of Childcare!

I dropped my baby off this morning for her last day of Childcare.  Now technically she will still go there in the mornings and afternoons for before and after school care.  And she will also go there on days there is no school...but in terms of day long stints there, naps, and the regular routine...today is it.

I wanted the morning to be more magical but to be honest, it was miserable.  it was pouring outside when we left the house and so I was soaked and crabby and yelled at her for a variety of stupid reasons.  Before we even got out the door I had to tell her 4 times to put on her shoes, which I ended up doing anyway because I wanted to leave.  She was really congested from seasonal allergies and ended up  coughing a lung out...so much for getting that allergy pill down.  So anyway, it was miserable.

Eva sent me a text this morning to tell me that she had to have Maggie put to sleep in the middle of the night.  She was the end of the era.  I remember coming home from Boston to see her wriggling across the floor.  I thought having a dog in the house was a bad idea, and then I saw her army crawling toward me and I just melted.  And then we had Riley and those two were peas in a pod.  My heart breaks that she's gone, and I already miss my dogs so much too.

So needless to say, I am just super cry-ey today.
