Do I Get Mommy Credit?
It was a long and stressful day today. I have no intention of going into the details. The commute home was long because of the late hour and the pouring rain. (Yes, it's raining again -- not that anyone is surprised.)
All the way home I was contemplating my two options: stopping at the neighborhood lounge and getting a drink and some bread with oil and basil, and spending some time decompressing and reading my book -- or going straight home to my daughter, who had been sick at home today.
Maternal duty won.
But when I got home, my daughter was feeling much better and playing with the twins, and she scampered upstairs with them shortly after I got home. She's still there now. She wouldn't have noticed if I had delayed another 30-45 minutes to take some time for myself.
I feel like I should get some extra credit mommy points to bank against future, less virtuous moments.

And by the way, taking good care of the mommy is taking good care of the kids! I think that holds even if there is a small amount of alcohol involved. :o)
