Today, my "30 Days of Thankful" item is, my mom! Of course, for many countless reasons, I am very thankful for my mom. She is always there for us, and I know that she would do anything she could to help us out. We have had many rough patches over the years, and we don't always see eye to eye, but in the end none of that matters. We all grow, and we learn from our mistakes. And, our past doesn't have to rule our present. I'm grateful that we have been able to develop a closer relationship, specifically since I became a mother myself. I don't know what we would do without her, and all of her help.
Today was a pretty low key day. I had the day of for Veteran's Day. The girls were up bright and early. We played for a bit, ate some breakfast and I got them dressed....my mom is also off today, and agreed to take the girls for a while so I could get some stuff done around the house. She took them to the mall for a while, and back to her place, so I was able to get some cleaning done around the house. A little peace and quiet sure goes a long way!
She ended up bringing the girls back right around the time Christian got home from work. We had a pretty low key night (as if we party down most other nights...), and basically went to bed right after the girls. We have a busy weekend of chores coming up, so I'm sure the weekend is going to fly right by.
Here is my all time favorite picture of my mom and me. I have this one hanging up at my work, and everyone that sees it thinks that it is me and Olivia. :)
