I'm at home with a sick kid. Just after 8 and we've already thrown up green twice. Awww, the joys of motherhood.
Actually, it is a joy. Not the throw up part but all the other stuff. And even staying home today, which was the worst day for me to stay home. Seriously, can we not coordinate this sick stuff so it's a little more convenient? Thursday would work so much better for me.
I started to tell hubby I couldn't stay home that I had this, and this, and this to do but most importantly, the president was hosting the All Staff Breakfast and giving her annual address. And as a Director, I was expected to be there. Expected to be seen.
But then I thought about my little girl. Pawning her off so I could make a good impression. For what? So some people that I won't even know in 5 years (and who probably won't even remember me in 10) can see what a good professional I am? Is that really my priority?
No. It isn't.
It won't ever be.
Was it a great move professionally? No but I've got to treat the things that mean the most to me like they actually mean the most. And honestly, those two girls are the greatest treasures of my life.
And make that three times.
Treasures, I tell ya, treasures.
