In between

On the days that I don't pick up Simon, after I've backed the car into the driveway, sometimes I just sit there in the silence for a few minutes.  It's the one part of the day when I am done dealing with my 95 teenage students and I'm not yet dealing with housework, supper and my own two kids.  I enjoy this brief moment of respite, in between, looking out the window, not wanting to move.
