So Worth It

I never said I was a good parent. If you mistakenly came to that conclusion on your own, then I’m sorry. I hate to disappoint. I have a long list of compelling reasons to back me up on this, but my most recent is that I let my boys skip school today. It won’t be a big deal for Jackson, I mean, their class didn’t have a lesson on physics or anything, but Christian’s class, well, they probably did. I know for sure that he missed the review for his English test tomorrow. If he makes anything less than a 100, then we will all know who to blame. He did study as soon as we got home, but the rest of the day was spent on Sand Island. Scott and I are so afraid what this oil spill will mean for the coast, and we wanted to get at least one trip in before disaster strikes. This was the first time we have ever seen starfish at the island, so I’m taking that as a sign we made the right decision to ditch. How’s that rationalization? Normally, I’d post a zillion pictures and tell you all about it, but sand, sea and sun really takes it out of a unfit mother. More tomorrow, if I have time between my appointment with the truancy officer and contributing to the delinquency of my minors.
