LEAVE IT.

Every day there is some wrong done to each of us, and every day we decide whether to carry it along, or leave it. As someone who is constantly saying "Leave it!" to 2 small sticky-fingered individuals, I should know better.
So here goes:
dear mini-van driver that double-parked in the few allotted spaces for preschool parents and made me 10 minutes late trying to find parking, I forgive you.
dear small white compact car with no children in it that took the space I was waiting for after seeing double-parked mini-van and telling my baby to stop crying, I forgive you.
dear people who I committed my time and energy to helping but do not call and inform me of anything that has changed and expect me to know exactly what you want from me without asking me and fail to communicate anything without prompting, I forgive you.
dear self who sometimes turns on dinosaur movies instead of reading books and turns up the music in the car when the kids are crying and struggles with leaving it, I forgive you.

Do yourself a favor, too- Leave it.
