Turns out being ten minutes late isn’t the emergency I made it out to be.
I’m not a doctor.
I’m not a nurse.
Nobody’s life is hanging in the balance because I hit one extra red light.
I’m a working mom trying to get everyone fed, dressed, packed, and out the door with at least a little bit of sanity intact.
So yes, sometimes I’ll arrive ten minutes after my start time.
And no, I’m not interested in turning my morning into a stress-induced Olympic event anymore.
The panic wasn’t helping.
The rushing wasn’t helping.
The guilt definitely wasn’t helping.
You know what is helping?
Giving myself a little grace.
