it’s thankless work, but you may have managed to thank her just a little bit in this post.

I totally agree. I’m not a mom, I’m a senior undergrad. But I’ve always respected both career moms and SAHMs, because it takes a LOT to do both. Seriously, I can’t imagine the mental fatigue of a SAHM at times. And of the working mom, who works but comes home to do the home thing, too. It’s tough, but I think having kids would be wonderful. Now, if only I could figure out my personal life to let that be a possibility one day!

@becky thank you!

@matt word to the first. and look! my mom did read it!

@mom I’m telling you, every day I realize more and more what a damn good job you did. This stuff is HARD.

@kim you remember that? Ha! Do you remember me trying to smoke while doing it? Just think: your knitting will progress, too. If I can do it, anybody can.

I remember you “knitting” that scarf in 210 West. It’s sort of how I knit now.

two things:

let your self from ten years ago punch you. she’s got little skinny arms that have never hoisted a toddler at IKEA.

make sure someone films your mom reading this post.
