Sure, the child brain part of me goes 'She gets a night at a resturant - UNFAIR!', but the adult brain part of me realizes that she needs that. I don't know how to convince kids of that. But how else could they, for example, be proud to cheer for you to run a 5K for breast cancer? <br /><br />You sound like a great mom (HORSES? how many do you have?), totally. I think you are a great person too.Elizabeth McClunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03627373214555333537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111487397449016576.post-65758030347476417882010-09-15T22:09:18.345-05:002010-09-15T22:09:18.345-05:00I was little worried about your last post.

You are making a good job and it is understandable that sometimes you need just a rest.<br /><br />Anyway, you have wonderful and intelligent kids. Why not to tell they frankly how do you feel sometimes? You are the family and that means that even mom have a right to share her hesitations.Hundi ulghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453764367899147722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111487397449016576.post-14784084095354164722010-09-11T19:46:26.617-05:002010-09-11T19:46:26.617-05:00Being a good mom is hard!!

I work 40-50 hours a week so my kids can have everything they want, but sometimes I wonder too if they realize how hard I work so they can have everything. Only time will tell if they realize!! <br /><br />Your kids are very lucky to have you as their mom!!Michelle, Mike, Michael & Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644332366649579740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111487397449016576.post-74745968852066622622010-09-11T18:22:06.009-05:002010-09-11T18:22:06.009-05:00I'm sure it is no help at all, but I feel exac...I'm sure it is no help at all, but I feel exactly the same way.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623179886908222942noreply@blogger.com
