Twice in ONE WEEK!!!!

I mentioned last Monday in my blog that my youngest daughter forgot her library book at home.  Because I work from home I was able to be her 'hero' that day and return the book for her before her library time.  Well...today was an AMAZING day of coincidence and fortune.....

My oldest daughter, who is in 4th grade, worked for 2 weeks on her latest school project: a Powerpoint presentation and discussion.  I emailed the teacher the file last night and it took 15 minutes to send.  I thought it was quite odd, but it did finally go through.  Or so I thought.

Around 1:30 I discovered that the email had bounced.  The file never arrived at school.  My heart just sunk.  I quickly grabbed a CD, copied the file and speed to the school.

When I arrived, I could see my daughter standing at the head of the class.  I heard the teacher say 'Let me just find the file real quick and you can begin.'.  I walked in and said 'Looking for the Powerpoint presentation?  Here it is!'. 

I could not have timed it better!  I arrived at the precise moment she needed the file.  The smile on my daughter's face was amazing. 

I came through for her today just like I did for my Kindergartner on Monday.  I was a hero to both my girls.  I wouldn't have been able to do it if I were working downtown. 

I gave up corporate America 5 years ago this month and have never looked back!  I make more today than I would ever make in corporate America and I am always available to my kids to be there hero when they need me!!!
