It's Always the Mother

Hannah and I had a coversation last week about how sometimes its hard to make choices. I tried to use the example of how hard it was to make the choice to quit teaching and come to LifeWay. Boy, did that backfire. Hannah said, "Yeah, but you did it and left your child during kindergarten when she didn't know her way around the school and stuff." Which if you know that I left in March when school was almost out and that she had been going up to said school with me since the time she was a baby, it wasn't really that bad. But I have to live with the guilt of "scarring" her.

As if that wasn't enough of my fault, I forgot James had a field trip yesterday. I felt really bad and James was being really sweet. He kept saying, "It's okay. Really, mom it's okay, I forgot, too. So your not the only one who forgot." Then Hannah pipes in and says, "I would never forget my child's field trip. And if I ever do it will be your fault for teaching me to forget things."

So as you can see it always come back to the mother. When they're lying on the couch spending big bucks for therapy, remember it will all come back down to the mother : )

P.S. If you can't get to sleep at night, use James excuse, "My stomach is empty and my head is full." I am sure that will come back to haunt me, that he didn't get enough to eat.
