Don't forget to vote

...in the first (un)official Charm City Moms Guilty-Mom poll. You have just a few more hours to weigh in on whether or not I should arrange to leave work during an even-more-hectic-than-usual week to watch my son in a preschool show.

I should mention, if it wasn't clear before, that I am nearly always at important school events, and very happy to be there. It's just that this one time, it's going to be particularly difficult.

And yet, and yet. Last night my son intimated that there might be singing involved, too. The stakes have been raised.

Hey Kate,

I voted "other." I didn't see a "Yes, because you are one of the hardest-working moms on the planet and should do some things that are fun" option. You are a WONDERFUL mom. Even if you did fix your kids tofu. : )

Well, I missed the poll but inquiring minds need to know... did you go? :)

The play is next week. I'll post soon to answer your question!
