Sure, you could call in sick or sneak out claiming that you have a
doctor's
appointment or that you have a repair person coming to
fix your hot water heater, but feeding your boss some line doesn't jive
with the seasoned pro you have become.
Feed hungry babies, wipe up spills, exercise patience, calm squabbles, clean, cook, organize, get the laundry washed and put away,
doctor's
appointments, school activities, baseball, football, soccer games, plan celebrations and holidays, decorate for parties and seasons, bake cookies for school events, buy and wrap presents, hugs, kisses, storytime, grocery shop, clothes shop,
fix boo - boo's and owies, bring encouragement, pray, comfort hearts and wipe tears, make happy memories, play games together, care for them when they get sick in the middle of the night, change diapers, bathe the little ones so they're fresh, clean and smelling sweet, tuck them into bed
with prayers at night, get out the door to go to church
with hair combed and shoes on, tell them you love them to the moon and back, sit, listen and look into their eyes and savor their sweetness... and a million other things!
