Thank you for keeping it real, Susan! I was a working mom and often felt guilty that I couldn't volunteer at school, attend class parties, etc. One day right before the Christmas holiday, I came home from a particularly long & stressful day. My fourth-grader said, "I know you are working hard and I had to sign-up to bring something for the class party tomorrow. I chose plastic silverware and rode my bike to Safeway after school to get it." In that moment, I realized I was raising a pretty awesome kid despite not being at the class parties. : )
