If my mom was alive now, I would be giving her a huge hug and telling her how much I appreciate what she went thru, raising myself, a brother and sister and dealing with all the animal hobbies. I am working with a blended family of 5 and their 4 Goldens, five days a week. After a couple hours with them, I go home exhausted. This experience has given me a great appreciation of Mom's who work, raise their kids, and keep the homefront sane. Yes, I raised one daughter as a single parent. But, that doesn't even begin to compare with the multi-tasking that Moms do to keep life sane, especially in the current world. Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there. I wish you all the credit you deserve. Dads and kids, make sure you show wife/mom how much she means to you :-) Laura ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
