Missed Work for a Good Cause

OS got in his car yesterday morning to head to ASU for his final exam, and the car wouldn't run! The look of panic on his face at 7 a.m. broke my heart.

I told him to get in my car. We dropped YS off at school and headed for ASU. I called in to work and took the day off to make sure he got his tests taken and his car repaired. The kid has test anxiety anyway. It hardly seemed a good idea to have him take a test in a panic on top of his regular panic.

Anyway, all seems to have gone well. He says he feels good about the tests, his car is fixed (and it didn't cost him anything because the part that failed was under warranty). I got big hugs and thank yous. We both feel good about the day.
