My excuse.

Dear Children,

Please accept my apologies for failing today’s expectations.  You are home on your fall break for three days, three days during which I should be using every moment to be A Perfect Mother and enjoy every moment of your smiles, tantrums, and unending begging for cookies.  I tried to prepare for the day with inspiration for pumpkin projects, but managed to screw it up by not trying it ahead of time.  The thought of what we would do over our long weekend has been overwhelming and I wanted it to be so perfect that I wore myself out preparing for it.  Also, please don’t think less of me that during the 3 hours your father let me nap this afternoon, that he did an art project with you, fed you lunch, and did the dishes.  I admit, he is the better housewife.

Love,

Your Mother
