I have started this entry over and over again. How can I describe how much I love my mom? It's like someone turned on the light bulb when I had my girls. I am exhausted on a daily basis but that's not meant as a complaint. It's meant to say the daily challenges, tribulations, discoveries, reading the same book over for the fourth time in a row have created a deeper awareness of how self sacrificing both of my parents were for me. I feel a little guilty because I feel as if I haven't shown my appreciation enough. I hope you are reading this mom because I love you with all my being. And please let me buy you some dog food and clean their teeth because you give me free daycare!!!!!
