I am dressed and ready to go. Sitting in my winged back chair I delicately balance the sleep of my children with being late for school. They will probably wake up on there own, any minute now, because it is the first day of school. But if they do not, how do I measure the time needed to prepare those young people for all the firsts the day has to offer? All those new faces? All those new names? The new daily routine? The new outcomes to similar situations? How do we, every year, jump the hurdle between, "I'll be right here" and "See you at the end of the day," without falling face first into lifes gravel? How do we decide to do this again and again throughout the year?
