Yep--another SuperMom in the spotlight!
This time I am just so grateful for those moms who are always showing that they LOVE being a mom.
So, my spotlight is my good friend from back-in-the-day, Caroline. I always knew growing up, that she would make the BEST mom. She is the 2nd oldest, but the oldest girl, of 8 kids and she never got impatient with her younger siblings. She just loved on them all the time. I can still picture her pinching the cheeks of the youngest 2. When she became a mother, I just knew those kids were going to get loved like crazy! And...I was correct. I don't have the joy of living by her, but I keep up with her life via cyber-space. I love looking at her posts and seeing how she adores her children. She finds joy in every little moment. I am amazed at how she finds even the littlest things to admire about her children. I can just picture her face as she writes each post...it has the biggest, most beautiful smile, filled with sincere love and gratitude for her sweet boys. Thanks for your example, Caroline. I can only hope that I can have, and show as much love for my kids, as you do yours. You are amazing!

Today, I am a FABULOUS MOTHER!
Today I...
...did not push the snooze button 4 times.
...did not give my 2nd grader a breakfast of a pop-tart and applesauce cup.
...did not tell my 2nd grader 3 times, "Hurry up! You're going to be late!"
...did not tell a partial-truth to my 2nd grader so he'd eat the school lunch so I didn't have to make one.
...did not let my 2 year old wake up and go right downstairs to watch a movie.
...did not wait until 10:54 to change my 2 year old's diaper for the first time of the day.
...did not put extra sugar on my 5 year old's cereal so she'd eat it.
...did not let my 5 year old watch Spongebob and Rugrats on my bed.
...put away all the stuff that we unpacked from the car last night, after our Labor Day weekend fun.
...emptied all of the suitcases we took and put all the clothes in their proper, sorted, hampers.
...did not get on the computer until my house was spic & span, all the dishes were put away and the laundry was all done.
Like, I said; Today, I am a Fabulous Mother.
And by the way, in my house, TODAY IS OPPOSITE DAY.
