Playing Hookey

Have you ever woken up on a cold day and thought, I don’t want to get out of bed.

I feel that way all the time.

The problem is that I am a parent. 

I can’t play hookey.

I have responsibilities.

My son has to get ready for school, and I have to take him places and make sure he is fed and his homework done.

Sure I’m cold and my bed is nice and warm.

But I’m a mom. And I love being a mom.

So I get out of bed and do my duty.

And I find that being responsible feels a lot like love.

And that’s a good thing.
