Early Morning Heart Break

As I was getting ready this morning, I could hear my little boy talking to his dad. "Daddy, I don't want mama to go to work." I then heard my husband explain to him that mama has to work, so we can have money to buy food and most importantly toys. He then explained that mama would have to work today and tomorrow, but would then be able to stay home with him for two days. I came out of the bathroom to give my little man a big hug and a kiss. I did not want to leave him either. Being a parent is hard. You know that you must work to provide for your children, but I sure wish that I could be home with him. Luckily once cartoons were on he forgot all about me.
