1. Relief.

2. Just enough time to brew some decaf.

3. I start to drink the coffee and then realize I don’t like it very much at all.

4. I order the extra school supplies. I laugh at the $13 binder on her list.

6. I rub his head and then have to shake the sweat off of my hand. “We didn’t stop moving.”

8. I made it.

9. I somehow missed the memo that he doesn’t like potatoes.

10. Of course. There’s always one.
