Must Haves

Tonight I called out sick. Not something I can normally pull off as a stay-home mom, but luckily, I have a smart, responsible teenage daughter who happened to come home early and was able to take over. She mediated squabbles. She walked friends home from our Friend Friday play dates. She planned and cooked dinner. 

When she was planning, she made sure to add a vegetable. I'm proud that she knows it's not dinner without one. Then when it was prepared, she made sure the kids paused for a prayer. Again, it's not dinner without one.
