Well, I saw it coming last night. Taylor went to bed complaining of her stomach/side hurting. She had just finished playing a very active game of Wii Bowling prior to bedtime and she was perfectly fine, so I knew that this was her way of attempting to get out of school today. If I didn’t know her as well as I do, then one would think she was really sick…she’s a pretty good actress! One should give her an Academy Award…she is THAT good! However, she doesn’t fool me!! These challenging mornings usually come about once a week. I can’t afford for Taylor to stay home whenever she has a morning like this because 1- she will think that it is ok, and then it will be a repetitive behavior (every day). 2- Who is going to watch her? I work during the day, and only choose to take off from work when my children are truly sick or for other emergencies. AND 3- She is almost 17 years old, AND this also helps her to understand when we have a responsibility (i.e: work, school, children, etc…it is important that we follow through with what we are supposed to do).
