Teaching lends itself very well to a combined parentinig profession and outside the home profession. However, I well remember those phone calls from the school, letting me know I was needed to retreive a sick child. The one I remember best was when your brother, Mark pulled the stunt of trying to amputate a finger in the school weight lifting equipment. He was just about the same age as Ashleigh. I also thought I was through with getting called to attend to a "sick" child. Since my boss was always sympathetic to any call to a teacher to respond to the "parent needed immediately" call. He told me to "Go now, I'll cover your room." Well, this little note is to let you know, you will never stop with the parenting. Your Dad and I are still on rare occasions getting that "parent needed immediately" call. We don't mind at all and are still enjoying the parenting career at ages 71 and 77. Smiles.<BR/>Love, Mom and DadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
