Superhero

First, I have been on a posting rampage tonight, so don't stop here. Just keep on goin'!

But the real point of the post... My mom is the absolute best. Tonight I had class and James had to work, so my mom was going to watch the kids. This morning I put her on alert because the kids were puking, cranky, and horrible. But by this afternoon they were all asleep and happy, so I figured the worst had passed us by. My mom said she'd come up to our house, so I went ahead to class.

Little did I know what I was leaving behind. Kenley threw up all over herself while Claire was screaming her little head off. Parker and Claire both had blow-out poopy diapers. Claire started screaming every time my mom put her down, and she never got to eat dinner. All in all, I think the night was less than enjoyable.

And after all that, not only did my mom actually WANT to kiss those children good-night before she left, but you know what she offered? To help me clean up before she left, and that I should come down to her house tomorrow with the kids if they are sick again. Could you think of anything better than that?

I don't think I could raise these kids without my mom. I really, really don't. Thanks, Mamacita, for all that you do to help me stay sane. I don't think I could ever possibly tell you how much it means to me. I love you!!!

Thank you for the kind post. I only wish I had more make-up on in the picture you chose! Kenley "beauty styled" me. It is an event not to be missed.

I was wondering about the blue eyeshadow. But I just figured that you are super cool and trendy Kerry. Love you guys!

What an amazing Grandma! What would we do without our Moms? I always ask how I can ever repay her and she just says I can do the same for my own kids someday. Too true...
