I have to say that being a parent is quite a balancing act. Trying to balance three kids in basketball, two in gymnastics and then doctors appointments for being pregnant is nearly impossible...ok, so if you haven't guessed, I am talking about my wife.
Day in and day out she gets the kids ready for school, gets them to all their activities, makes sure they are clean, fed and she does it all without getting paid. Now, I try my best to help out when I can. I cook meals, do laundry and even pick up after myself, ok the latter sometimes. But when I think of everything else that happens to make the family work, I can't help but be impressed.
I think that is such a thankless job. I can see on my wife's face when I do try to say thank you, but her expression really tells me, "I appreciate the thought, but really you have no idea." I know that I could never substitute for the role of a mother, honestly, not sure I would want to but they are so important in the lives of a child.
So, to anyone out there who is a mother, I commend you for your efforts and abilities and ask that you please continue to do your magic, because the reality is no one could ever fill your shoes.
Thank you, Moms!!!
