Driving Miss Clare


This week is somewhat of a special week; Clare is home with us while Karen is in Minnesota remembering her brother Craig that passed away last week.  We hate the Karen had to leave for such a reason but we’re loving having Clare all to ourselves.  We’ve had to divide and conquer a little bit, this is the height of my busy season (pools open next weekend) and Jeff is helping out at another facility.  So, Clare is staying home with Jeff on Wednesday and Friday while I take Thursday. 

I left for work before Clare woke up today, it killed me not to see her before my day; I hate that feeling and wish for nothing more than to see my little Lady.   I worked hard all day and kept an eye on the clock thinking of when I could go home, I don’t like knowing that Clare and Jeff are at home having fun without me. 

As soon as I could I left work and headed up the hill.  When I got home everyone was playing outside, even Kai greeted me in the driveway before I parked the car.  The highlight of my day was when Clare, dressed in her pink boots, pink leggings and Missouri sweatshirt game running up before I could even get out of the car.   Clare wanted to drive the car, and who was I to say no.  She had a lot of fun turning the radio on and off, beeping the horn, turning the AC on full blast and putting the key in and out of the ignition, she even figured out how to start the car.
























The thought of her driving makes me nervous; thankfully I have a good 14 years to warm up to the idea.  Hopefully she likes driving the Murano when she's old enough, it was bought with her in mind after all.
