Hubby and I were going through boxes the other day and I found a bunch of my old college papers/texts. Igot a little depressed remembering how I used to know things and do things instead of wasting away doing nothing but changing diapers. Hubby said "Not true, every day you make my dinner." Sigh, he's not wrong, but not exactly what I meant. S.P.

But we have had some lovely days once the meds kick in.<br /><br />What a wonderful post, Crystal. IT is amazing and beautiful how good a mother you are. You kids will flourish from all the love and attention you give them!<br /><br />And as you said, all mother's are not the same. And sadly, many don't look out for their kid's best interests. The new memoir I am writing is about a mother who was an amazing person for what she accomplished, but was one of the worst mother's I have ever heard about, putting her own needs in front of her children's. <br /><br />Have a LOVELY Mother's Day because YOU DESERVE IT!!!!!!Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568183101637683554.post-88081636060316703132018-05-07T17:00:35.101-04:002018-05-07T17:00:35.101-04:00I feel ya!
