Teary Eyes

My first grader had some kind of tea party at his classroom today. Parents and siblings are invited. I told him this morning that I can't come in to join him because we all have cough, cold and sore throat. Plus his only sister is home sick because she has a little temperature. It sound like he doesn't even know what I am talking about.

Fast forward to the present. He came home telling me that I should have been in his school for this tea party. Well, I would love to be there but what am I going to do with his siblings? He said daddy should have watched them. I told him that if daddy is home we are not having this conversation are we now? I also reminded him that I told him this morning that I will not be able to go. He almost cried and telling me that this occasion is only today. And I knew that, I don't think his teacher will appreciate me bringing sick kid to her class. I think his siblings would have enjoyed being with him in his school also.

I also feel bad because this morning I was thinking that maybe he will be the only one with no family in his class. I can't do everything, specially with no help. His father work hours is from 7 in the morning to 7 at night. So, I have to do everything by myself on those hours. There are more to come and hoping that next time I/we can go.
