Retirement?

Motherhood. You can't quit. You can't move up. You can't retire. And let me tell you...I'm so glad. Your mom is there to tuck you in at night, to kiss away your owies, and to scare the boogie man away. She's there threatening boys who might break your heart, and she's there when those same boys eventually do. She's also there when you're desperately tired, and on the verge of insanity.
My mom came down from Las Vegas to rescue me this past week. She came on New Year's Eve, told Joel and I to spend the night at my sister's (she is going to rent a house down the street from me, but hasn't moved in yet) and spent 3 nights getting Hunter and Mikayla to sleep through the night. This means I had 3, count 'em THREE blissful nights of uninterupted sleep! And the best part? It worked! Hunter now sleeps through the night. I don't know if she knows how much it meant to me for her to come down and help me out. I was so beyond tired that I was in survival mode. The instant she told me she was coming down it was like my body switched gears and I could have slept for days. Thank you mom. I love you.
