1. I am a mom, a daughter, a sister and a friend

Being a mom is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life. It’s 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are no breaks, no vacation days .. not even a sick day for the mamma. My day starts before I can get my eyes open and lasts well in to the night .. the boys are busy all of the time. Taking them to this dr’s appointment or that sports practice or the other friend’s house. We have so much fun though. The boys are 15 and 13 1/2 … and believe it or don’t, they still like hanging out with ol mom. Not sure how long that will last, but I am not going to take a moment of it for granted. I know the day will come, and prob soon .. when they will be less interested in being with me. Some days I feel like I am not qualified to parent them .. it’s always something new to handle. So .. one thing I really want to do is be the best mom I can be for them .. they deserve it!!
