This about broke my heart....
MommyToAshley wrote: I had a bunch of work come in this morning. I knew it was going to be a busy day so I got up before everyone else to get an early start. Rod also had a client have some hot jobs come in so he couldn't take Ashley. (Usually one of us works and the other one gets to be with Ashley)
Anyways, Ashley wakes up before I am done with my work. So, I give her the new princess color pencils and let her sit at the desk beside me and color/draw. She looked up at me and asked me if I was working. I told her yes. Then she asked me why I had to work. She used to ask this all the time, and I would joke with her and tell her that I had to work to make money to buy her diapers... but, I can't say that any more. So, I said that I had to work to make money to pay for her dance class. (Side note: Ashley LOVES dance class and it's all that she's talked about and keeps asking when she gets to go back) Ashley looks at me and replies, "That's okay Mommy.... I don't need to go to dance class. Can we play now?" Talk about pulling on the heart strings! So, I decided I had my priorities wrong, stopped working, and we went to the park. I emailed the client and told them that I would have the work done first thing in the morning. (I just hope the client isn't reading this!)

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Oh my goodness! What a precious girl! You are such a good mommy!!!
coasterqueen replied: Awww how sweet! That is so great you can do that. I so wish I had my own business so I could do that. Kylie breaks my heart all the time asking why I have to work and she doesn't understand why.
Kaitlin'smom replied: that was so sweet of her. Kait often asked why I have to work AGAIN, so I know how you feel, but I dont have the option of not going to work most days.
julesmom replied: We tell our boys dh has to work to buy them toys. Once, one of them said we could sell all their toys and then daddy wouldn't have to work.
Ashley sounds so sweet.
5littleladies replied: Oh my goodness!! That is too precious! I would have stopped working too.
amynicole21 replied: Awwwwwww! She is too sweet.
MommyToAshley replied: I can't do it too often, otherwise we wouldn't have a business. Luckily, it works out most of the time that DH and I can switch off and on who takes care of Ashley. It's not often that both of us get work that needs to be done that same day. I usually end up doing most my work after she goes to bed, which makes for a really long day, but it's worth it. But, there are days when I have to work and DH is watching Ashley that she will say she wants me.... those days are tough. And, sometimes she wants Daddy when he is working.
Sarah&Mackenzie replied: Your daughter is SO SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MommyToAshley replied: Aweee, that is the sweetest thing ever!
