Today, I had lunch with my kids at school. It's something I look forward to every now and then. I find time to do it because it's what I would have wanted to do if circumstances were different. I can't be in school on a regular basis so it's also the only time I could follow up with their teachers on how my kids are doing in school, especially with Andre.
I feel guilty sometimes, because I want to be the mom who stays in school for lunch. I would want to be the mom who's always around during PTA meetings or the mom who hangs out with other moms everyday waiting for the kids to be dismissed. It's what I think is ideal, but not realistic for moms who work like me....
So I would just be the realistic mom, who would devote as much quality time with my kids as possible, the mom who would never get tired of explaining to my kids why I need to work, the mom who would talk about my kids with pride, the mom who would always look forward to going home after a days work to bear hugs and kisses and never ending questions from two little kids who gives me enough reason to believe that my life has a purpose.
