I am very lucky when it comes to work. I only work two days a week and my hours spent away from home occur when the kids are (or should be) sleeping. This affords me the luxury of missing very little in the way of birthday parties, dance recitals, etc. Generally, the only thing missed is a little sleep on my part. As an added bonus, I sometimes return home with donuts for breakfast the next morning. Because of this, there are rarely complaints when I leave for work.
Recently, we had an exception ...
Diva: "What are you doing?"
Me: "Mommy has to work tonight."
Diva: "I want you to stay home. You don't have to go to work. Someone else can take care of the babies."
Me: "Mommy is the boss tonight." *attempting to sound important and irreplaceable*
"I have to go to work and make sure that all of the babies are taken care of."
Diva: "I want you to stay home." *insert dramatic sigh here*
"You aren't the boss of the whole world!"
Indeed
Nothing like the honesty of a five-year-old to put it all in perspective for you ...
