That's me. I knew when I became a mom my life would never be the same. I would have a child who depended on me for food, clothes, comfort, recreation, social interactions, homework help, support and cash, lots and lots of cold, hard cash.
Three boys later and I can honestly say I love being a mom.
However imparting knowledge to 5 year-olds all day can be exhausting. And when I finally get home after a long day I just want to sit with my feet up for awhile as I get my second wind.
Today was one of those days. I wearily left school head pounding, feet aching. I walked into the house, dropped my school bag, took off my jacket and sat down with the lap top to check email, The Blog, facebook. Hubby graciously offered me a cup of tea, which I gratefully accepted. Then I heard it...

Men & boys...hopeless without us!!
They didn't take out rash either! Apparently we don't have the "right" trash can anymore. We got new round, slightly smaller ones now, but how does one get rid of a trash can if the trash men won't take it???
Mom?
Yep, every day is mother's day.
When they're grown and out of the house, you're going to miss being the "go to girl". When the phone rings and someone says "Mom, can you......?, you feel that someone needs you once again.
