So I go to pick Julia up from daycare tonight. At the stop light were I need to turn to get to daycare, I see a firetruck. No big deal, except I thought it was weird that it was from the next town over. I turn onto the road and see a LOT of flashing lights. I figured that there must have been a house fire and don't think too much of it. But as I get closer to daycare I am realizing that the firetrucks are pretty close to where the daycare is. Soon I realize that the firetrucks are IN FRONT OF THE DAYCARE!!!!!
By this point I am starting to freak out. A million thoughts are running through my head, mostly they were "OH MY GOD, is Julia okay? Please let Julia be okay!". My heart is pounding a mile a minute.... I finally get to the road I need to turn on for daycare (daycare is about 1/2 block away from the road I was on) and it was CLOSED!!! All I wanted to do was find Julia, make sure she was fine, and give her a big hug. I was almost ready to just stop the car in the middle of the road and go running to see if she was fine. As I drive past the road the daycare is on, I see all the fire hoses and such and see that they are leading to the dry cleaners NEXT to the daycare and not the daycare itself! WHEW!!!!!!! Not that I am excited or happy that the dry cleaner's caught fire, but it was a HUGE sense of relief!! I was shaking as I drove around the block to get to the daycare for the other way.
The fire was out and some of the trucks were starting to packing up. They were pulling some burnt stuff out of the building. It looked like no one got hurt, thank goodness.
I finally got to daycare and gave Julia a big hug and kiss!
Man, first the possible break in yesterday and now this today. If this keeps up, they will need to send me to the looney bin....
