I awoke suddenly, I was sweating profusely.

It had been a year since I had last seen James and I still had nightmares about him...

I walked to my daughters room and sighed in relief when I saw her slumped over sleeping. I tiptoes toward her and pushed a curl behind her ear.

She stirred.

"Mommy?" She yawned.

I cuddled up to her and whispered "Go to sleep Babydoll." in her ear.

"Mm-hm" She mumbled as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.

I wrapped my arms around my baby while she slept, and closed my eyes.

...

...

I jumped up suddenly, "WAKE UP! We are late!"

The bed was empty.

"Macey!?" I turned to see my daughter playing with her Elsa doll.

She was fully dressed... miss matched, but dressed.

I got up quickly, "We gotta go!" she got u an grabbed her book bag.

"I am ready unlike you!" She sighed.

"I know!" I ran with Macey under my arm to the front door.

"Mommy!" Macey cried. "I need my shoes too!"

I quickly put on an sweater and my shoes as Macey tried to tie her shoes with her big winter coat getting in her way.

"Today Macey." I reached down and tied her shoes.

We rushed out the front door toward the truck my sister in law had so generously lent me...

SOrry everyone, I know I haven't written in forever (Literally) But I plan on getting back on track!
