Laters Potatas

The obligatory first day at school, in uniform, shot.

I have been waiting so long for this day.
Lola has been ready for months.
I have been ready for years to get a bit of time that doesn't involve Scooby Doo or wiping bottoms, snot or tears.

By 9.05 she was gone.

Quietly wiping my own bottom, tears and snot and wishing I had made more of my time with her.
