This past weekend I felt like a lazy lout when my wife went Saturday with one of our daughters to shop all day for her siblings and then the other daughter on Sunday. My wife is great, she knew I was doing some extra detailed research for my lesson plans so she didn’t even ask. I want you to know I don’t take her for granted though. I should have been there shopping along with her and each daughter. My son was out of the equation because he was  working.

I made it up to everyone though. I went out in the morning and got my wife and I Starbucks. Then for lunch while she was out with one daughter, I got the remaining kids Subway. For dinner, I even went and got Chipolte. So don’t write me off as totally selfish. I do think next year I want to take more of a role in getting gifts for the kids.
