....only she didn't. My mother is an amazing woman who never complains. I don't know how she did it with three demanding children, I really don't. I look up to her more than ever now that I'm a mom myself.
I was feeling under the weather most all of last week and then had a stomach bug over the weekend. Thing of it is, moms don't get sick days, especially when they don't work outside the home and stay with their kids all day. All I wanted to do was lie on the couch and feel sorry for myself. I wanted to be lazy and watch TV and fall asleep. Whenever I get sick, I just want my mom to take care of me. If my mother was ever ill when I was a kid, I never knew it. She certainly never let the house go to hell, or took a nap. I don't remember her doing anything besides being a great mom.
We celebrated my mom's birthday over the weekend. There aren't enough ways to let her know how much we love and appreciate her. I love you, mom. Thanks for being such a great role model for me.
