Preschool isn't for play, socialization or early learning. It is so moms can try to run a few precious errands in three hours without little ones complicating their purpose. I don't care if Ali learns anything at preschool. (I really don't. I want her to be happy and safe, but learning is just a bonus.)
Preschool is so moms like me can go to the market to by popsicles for a sick kid, without a little one banging on the self scan machine so many times, it quits working. So moms like me don't get dirty looks from old ladies who probably have nowhere to be or go, and seem to have forgotten what it means to have to take small children with us EVERYWHERE we go. Even the bathroom. So moms like me don't stand there with my keys falling out of my pocket, my money falling out of my wallet and my kids being so spastic I have to use my debit card for my $3.48 purchase because using cash is just way too complicated.
Please, God, just let my kids be healthy so I can have my two - three hour mornings, with all the kids in school, so I can get my stuff done without losing my mind.
And, Lord, please help me make it through all the school holidays. You know I won't be getting much done then!

It's why you need your mom
You got it...I am so with you about preschool .... of course, it always backfires with me and I still have all those things happen to me while at the store.
