skipping work to be a mom

by Grace on June 10, 2007

So I was out of the office yesterday. I missed lots of internet time and blogging! I am definitely addicted to this stuff as I am organizing the words in my mind at any given moment.

I had the terrible need to be home and be with my daughter. Woke up perfectly fine but as I looked at my clothes hanging ready to be worn to report to work and at my daughter sleeping and listened to my body saying no one will miss you at the office anyway!  ”a one day rest would not hurt ya” was all it took for me to phone THE BOSS that they will not see my beauty in the office for today. I’t Saturday anyway, most of the people from countries outside UAE are out playing tennis…or something!

I acted like a real mom today — that doesn’t imply though that on most days I am a fake mom, LOL! I am very happy to be able to play with my daughter, read her books, wrestle in bed and give her a bath. She was asking me for a bath in the tub, says she is missing the bathing style we have in Japan.

   

We had a great family time yesterday, complete with aww moments. I couldn’t ask for a better weekend.

    

Sweet with mom; P smiling happily!; goofing with dad

There’s nothing better than snuggling with our kids, is there? I’m glad you got a day to do that and I bet your daughter appreciates you more than your co-workers.
Shine On,
Lill

Can’t get enough of all the snuggles, actually =)

That’s great that you stayed home with her. It’s these moments that she’ll treasure forever! What an adorable girl!

Thank you for joining us at the Carnival of Family Life!
