my work isn't work

Due to the swine flu, all of Fort Worth ISD shut down for a week and a half. So, my doula/massage client came over today for a massage and brought her sweet six year old daughter. While Mommy was getting a massage, she was busy working on drawings. Thanks goodness I have colored pencils and paper. I have had a few disappointed kids come through looking for toys. Someday...someday.

She drew me this picture of a horse and at the bottom it says "hannah I love u". She is going to be a great big sister to her baby brother due in late June. I just love my clients. It is so fun and sometimes I feel like I really become part of their family. It isn't just about being at the birth, it is about building relationships that last a lifetime.
