Sometimes kids promise themselves they will never be like their parents when they grow up. I don't remember ever feeling like that when I was a kid (except for maybe about that whole curfew issue we had). Now that I'm a mom, there is nothing I want more than to be like my own. My kids would be so lucky if I could only be that good.There are lots of ways I want to be like her. One has really struck me lately. I never remember her acting like life was hard. She never seemed too busy. She never seemed too tired. She never seemed too stressed. Looking back and knowing what I know now that I'm a mom, I'm pretty sure she was faking it some of the time. She did a good job. I hope I can do the same for my kids so they don't grow up and think that mom was running around with her head cut off half the time.
I love you, Mom. Happy Mother's Day.

I agree! I can see your mom being just that way. I'm afraid I will look back and see myself always a bit stressed/tired/busy etc! What a good reminder to not be that way.
I have a new goal to be a mom like your mom! I need to work on all of those things. Happy Mother's Day!
