Right now I can hear my kiddo giggling because there's no school today because it's a staff development day but for him a free day is always a good day and honestly sometimes it is for me too. He made it through a good week and even though today means I'll be dancing around his needs while still doing all the things that I'm trying to get done on my own totally worth it. It's worth a few disjointed meetings to hear that laughter drift through the house because those giggles remind me what really matters.
