come back!

My mom left yesterday. I want her back! Not only is she enjoyable to be with, she in one of the hardest workers I know. This is my mom for you -

*What she did while she was here:
-made all the meals
-laundry
-dishes
-picked up the house
-took care of the boys , including getting Kyle and Jordan ready for school each morning and sending them to the bus
-straightened up the boys closets
-treated us to meals out
-treated me to a shopping trip to Kohls
-completed multiple sewing projects that I didn't know how (didn't want) to do
-made time to go to lunch at Kyle and Jordan's school, and McKenna and Lydia's school
-watched McKenna's softball game
-watched Summer and Emily's dance practise
-and many other things that I am probably forgetting

*What I did while she was here:
-took care of baby Josh and rested

And then, towards the end of the week, I started feeling real guilty with how much work I was NOT doing. I asked my mom if she felt bad that she was doing all the work, to which she replied, "I am hardly doing anything! I keep telling myself, 'Get to work. Stop lounging around.'" And that is my mom for you. I don't think I could ever be as productive as she is.

Mom, come back! I don't think I can do it on my own! You've spoiled me and pampered me. And I loved every minute of it!

aren't moms the absolute best?! I was amazed at how many things our moms do/have in common when they come to help - I loved the bit about sewing projects completed - SO TRUE!

It's times like that that make you realize how much you appreciate your mom. She really did a lot for you and I can only imagine your appreciation for her. You're so blessed to have her in your life.

Moms are so great! I started to panic the day before my mom left. I wasn't sure I could do it.
