I face real terror every weekday.
And it occurs as the clock approaches 5:30 p.m.
My heart starts to pound, and I wonder how I can possibly get all my work done in time to rush out the door, speed through rush-hour traffic on Route 30 and make it to my daughter's daycare before it closes at 6 p.m.
It's been almost a year since I put my daughter in daycare.
And I haven't been late to pick her up yet.
Yet.
But every day I push it. I read one more e-mail. Do one more thing. And before I know it, it's 5:34 p.m.
It's crazy to think that four minutes can make a difference in my day.
I thought it would get easier. But my heart still starts to pound, every day, around 5 p.m.
And I'm sure I'm not the only working mommy or daddy in York County that faces this daily horror.
How do you get through the day?
