Rescue remedy

Little S seems to be doing better at school if only ever so slightly. He still cries and it breaks my heart to drop him off each morning and see the anxiety and fear sweep across his face as soon as he sees his school.

As for me I´ve conquered a fear this week too and have finally been forced into driving in Mexico. It´s such a free for all on the roads that I get really anxious each time I get behind the wheel, --people running stop signs and facing intersections without any indication of who has the right of way. Add to that the corrupt police we´ve already encountered, cha-ching and it´s a nervous driver´s worst nightmare. I suppose it´s something I may get used to ...one day.

My driving world is small for now and so I only have to take Little S to school which isn´t far, about 5 minutes from home. I also have to go to the store and the gas station once or twice a week and that´s about it. With Seb travelling all over the place (Korea next week) I hate the idea of getting behind the wheel in this crazy maze of streets and not having another soul to call if something goes wrong.
