Shout-Out to Mom

This past week I've been feeling like I've had a small dose of mommy-mode. I got to have my cute little brother and sister stay with me this past weekend, and then I got to babysit my good friend Kristie's cute little boy for a couple of days. After all of this, it has really made me appreciate my mom. Of course I have always appreciated her, but now I got a little glimpse of what she does on a day to day basis. I never imagined that I would use a precious nap time to get dishes and laundry done!
My mom is seriously the best mom in the world. One of the things I love that she did for me when I was little is that she taught me the importance of writing in a journal. I got my first journal when I turned 6 years old and I wrote in it everyday. I'm so grateful I have those journals now! Of course most of them are hilarious little entries of non-importance that I won't take the time to share, but I came across this little gem that I didn't want to forget.

It's kind of hard to read so here's what it says:

I love to play. Sumtimes I play and I do not want to klenop my room and my mom has to klenop. She dosint like to but she dos it and it was kas she loves me.

I may not have been the brightest child in the world (klenop-"clean up" haha), but I sure knew that my mom loved me! Love you mom!
