Today I am spending the afternoon with my daughter. For the first 8 1/2 years of her life, I was able to work my work around her schedule and I was fortunate enough to spend most afternoons with her. We would do homework, go to art and karate, spend time together. This past year or so, with two businesses to run (one of which caters to after school activities), she has been spending a lot more time with babysitters. She said to me this morning that her life has been hijacked by babysitters.
She is missing her time with me, and I am missing being with her every day.
So today, I am being a Mom and taking her to karate and then we will do homework and have dinner. And after she goes to sleep I will get back to work.
