S15 is home sick today. My routine is to get up when the boys do to ensure they have everything they need and get them off. It's more for me than them, they are 15 and 17 and really don't need me there. I just like to interact with them over breakfast, and then get my day going too.
When S15 said he was sick this morning, H said "do you want to go check him, you are much better at that. Sometimes I am too hard a$$ and he may need his mom" I thought that was nice.
We even managed to laugh a bit this morning which was nice.
I've got a busy day at work and a meeting this evening which is rare for me, but I am looking forward to it.
I'm still trying to find a place to give back this Christmas (in my area) thanks Valeska's great example. I am inspired to do something locally and hope to find it soon. It is not just GAL but helping others which really helps me too.
