I have been watching or listening to the news intermittently today in anticipation of the fiscal cliff and the government shutdown. If a deal is made, I will go back to work. If not, who knows what will happen …
I took my oldest daughter to the dentist this morning to have a cavity filled. She was in a lot of pain afterward so I agreed to let her stay home. I am grateful I am not working right now. Otherwise, I would have asked her to push through the pain, which always makes me feel so horrible.
I got a neighbor to watch her in the afternoon so I could join my other daughter on her field trip to the Walker Nature Education Center. Again, I’m immensely grateful I got to join her. Normally I am working and miss out on class field trips. While the kids are young, I really regret the number of times I am not there to see them explore the world.
