One of the main reasons I started this whole blog thing is so that my mom (who lives in Colorado) could frequently see pictures of my family. I guess she never looks because she's always asking to see pictures. Soooo, now that I know she doesn't visit my blog I decided I can talk about her. Ha Ha. That'll teach her.
Now that I am a mother I just wonder how my mom did it with five kids. I only have one and I feel like I can't do anything. My house is often a mess, dinner is usually lame, and my laundry seams to never get done. But for some reason, by the end of the day, I am so tired I end up passing out in my bed. So how the heck did my mom do everything with five kids?
When I was young a typical day would be to wake up to a clean house, my mom would feed us breakfast then we would get ready to go to the swimming pool. At the pool she had lunch ready for all of us including yummy and healthy treats then she would shower us there. At night we would all sit down to a huge, homemade dinner. Laundry was always done, dishes never piled up in the sink and it seamed as though she always had some kind of fun activity planned for us. I have no idea when she had time to prepare the huge meals she made or when she had time to clean and when did she get together all her creative games? On top of all that she was always involved with some kind of church calling which demanded a lot of time and work. I wonder if she ever slept. Our entire day seamed to run smoothly, she was prepared for everything.
So what the heck am I missing here? Did she have some kind of super hero powers? Is she human? How come I feel like I'm running around all day so unprepared and so unorganized?
Anyways, my mom was and is just amazing. I appreciate her more now than ever. I want so much to give my children a wonderful childhood like I had. I just hope someday I can figure out the "trick" or somehow inherit super hero powers like my mom has.
