I try to stay calm, but when it comes to my kids, I admit I become a bit insane. Glad it all worked out (and hope it does not happen again!) P.S. The 'title' you gave JM made me giggle.

What you described so beautifully is a Mom thing; Dad's tend to be calmer ("he'll cope just fine if I am late, the driver won't just leave him...");and in my experience both reactions are needed, two halves of the whole. Yea to the return of dad/husband! Left me breathless and so glad it ended well.

My anxiety level was rising just reading your post–I am exactly the same way about picking up my son and I often imagine all the things that might happen to keep me from getting there on time if I am farther than usual from home. I’m sure it makes me seem a little neurotic–so I was glad to read that I am not alone…

And it is always worse when my husband is traveling…
