I took my daughter with me to an activity for adults last night. She was perfectly polite and well-behaved. She sat quietly next to me and even shushed me when I tried to whisper something to her. Typical teenage behavior...
After the lectures there was time for socializing. All I really wanted was the free plant and cake, but there were people in the way, so socializing was obligatory. I got to talk with one of my favorite people from my life - someone who I've known for most of it. She used to babysit me when I was a kid.
She's a teacher, and I know she loves kids, and I know she's good with kids. First hand!
Anyway, while we chatted she mentioned someone else who will bring her kids sometimes, but she wasn't there that night. My only thought was that I don't care. I'm gonna hang out with who I want to hang out with. And this beautiful young lady is number one. I would choose to hang out with her or her sister every time.
I would leave my own birthday party to hang out with them. I would leave my own wedding. Why would they not be there for that? I would leave a competition where if I stayed till the end I'd win a million dollars.
Win the lottery? Or win the lottery twice?!! It's not even hard.
My kids are the best and my number one priority. We only went to the activity because we thought our friend was speaking, but it turned out to not be her.
Otherwise I would have happily hung out at home with my two little besties.
I would have been enough to be a daughter and a sister, but God gave me not one, but two daughters, to allow me to be mother. And for that I'm eternally grateful!
