   Monday was quite the day.  Discovered I'd lost my driver's license, most likely dropped it on the way to the gate at Dulles.  Then, driving my sons to camp, I hear a funny whining sound in my car.  Within minutes, the car was overheating dramatically.  Prognosis, not so good.  Meantime, time waits for no working mother.  So, I got my sons to camp and headed off late for an interview about Tom Snyder.   Driving back over Malibu Canyon, I'm checking the clock and calculating how late I'll be, all the while, my head's running a mile a minute.  What will I do if I have to buy a car, how will I rent a car without a driver's license or buy one for that matter, can my budget handle this new expense with my other laundry list of things my house needs... will I blow the interview if I'm too late. 

And, then the text message sound went off on my cellphone, just as I was arriving at the interview.  It read...  "Lucia Grace is here!  1:28 PM  6lbs 10 oz, 19 inches.  She's beautiful & calm.  The whole family ecstatic and doing great."

   The message brought tears of joy to my eyes.. and the day changed from the worst... to not so bad after all.

Congratulations to my dear friends Nicole and Robert.  I can't wait to meet Lucia.
