I just want to say a THANKS MOM to her for being so much more than I ever appreciated as I was growing up. I always knew I was very lucky to have good parents... but now that I am a parent, I realize how much more goes into being a good parent.
My mom never complains... truly hardly ever. She enjoys simple pleasures like eating JuJuBes & for that reason I am happy that she is enjoying a cruise right now. And she very quietly did everything for us, her children... and still does. My parents are on the way home from a cruise that before booking, they made sure I was OK with them not being here on my birthday. Of course I am ok with that, they totally deserve a cruise!
(that's my mom with my son)
27 years ago, my mom brought me home from the hospital to a home with a 17, 13, 12 & 8-year old. With kids spanning those ages I think you sortof have to be everything at the same time. I can't imagine the incredible feat of having a 2nd child yet!
Today my parents have 14 grandchildren spanning ages 6 months to 16, and I think they totally love babysitting which involves being with their grandchildren and then handing them back to us to take care of when they wake up in the middle of the night.
That's all... now I have to go call my mom back, she called to say "Happy Birthday" from the cruise ship. :-)
If you have a little one, have you had a few "ah-ha" moments about your own parents??
