being a mom...

day 15 - so it's my 19th year anniversary and i ended up making my own dinner...what's up with that...anyway, i made chicken fried stead with mashed potatoes.  this is one of the families favorite meals and ryan said "i'm so glad i have a mom that makes good meals".  now, even though i made my own dinner on my anniversary (sorry, i said that twice) - that comment from my son made it all worth it.  from not growing up with a mother at home, it makes me feel so good when i can actually do "mother" things for my kids - like making good dinners that they'll remember when they get older, or making pickles for them because they love them and i don't that much...that's what being a mom is all about and it makes it all worth it.
