Mom Appreciation

Sometimes I hear people complain about their moms. I guess I get it a little, I was a teenager once and I butted heads with my mom more than once. In retrospect the majority of arguments I had with her were her wanting what was best for me. Sadly, when I hear people complain about their moms it's coming from people who arnt teenagers... It makes me sad that either they are ungrateful and take for granted all their moms have done and do for them and maybe the only thing their mom didnt so was teach them manners... And yes, I can only feel more this way now after becoming a mom.

Like I have mentioned thousands of times my mom is amazing. She is so great to me and so great to Boston. She was amazing to Boston and loved her before she was here and realized how cute and fun she was. She was excited for her from day one. Boston is pretty dang lucky she has one awesome grandma and one awesome great grandma. In fact both of them are watching her while I am at work.

I got sent this funny message so I wanted to share it:

5. My mother taught me about the CIRCLE OF LIFE.

I loved this and thought it was hilarious! Clearly my mom taught me those things in kinder ways but it was still taught to me. My mom also taught me to, "Kill them with kindness" which I usually give a smart-alec response like, "So, you literally want me to kill them?" 

Lucky that I have such great parents who also have such great parents. Boston and I are lucky. Tell your mom she is great today!

PS... I'm sure my big sisters are going to say what a suck up I am..
