..because, after I had a crummy day at work yesterday (it always sucks when your editor reprimands you for something you're sure you shouldn't be reprimanded for), I took the bus home, then walked to the pool just in time to meet Drew walking out with Rachel in his arms.
He spotted me first.
"Look, it's a surprise, Rachel!" he said. "It's mama!"
Her face turned toward me and oh, it lit up. Really lit up. A huge smile spread across her cheeks and she reached out for me, something she doesn't usually do when she's in Drew's arms. She let me carry her all the way back to the car before she reached out for Drew again.
And somehow, everything I had gone through that day just melted away.
Plus, we returned to temperatures in the mid-60s at night, which could have had something to do with the fact that Rachel went down at 9 with only the tiniest fuss.
She clapped her little hands at me today before I left for work.
