Days 6-10

Blogger was down for a few days, so I've got some catching up to do!

Something that has always amazed me about my mom is her selfless service.  Somewhere in my mom's very busy schedule she manages to find time to help all her friends and family with whatever they need.  Because I have five days to bog about, I'm going to list five acts of service I am thankful for.

1.  Since Rosie was born, on a regular basis my mom comes down to my house, gets my ironing, brings it home, does it, and brings it back to me.  Once she came down to watch the girls while I went to the doctor and she asked for my ironing.  I tried to refuse, but I came home from my doctor's appointment to find my mom in my laundry room stuffing Tom's shirts into a large garbage bag.  Thanks, mom.

2.  When I was pregnant with Rosie I was on bed rest for a majority of my third trimester - makes taking care of two other little kids kind of difficult.  My mom would regularly take Harper and Nora, make me dinner, and clean my house.  Thank you so much, mom.

3.  When I was 10 I was diagnosed with reflex neurovascular dystrophy and had to go up to Seattle Children's every day for about 6 weeks for physical and occupational therapy.  My mom had been doing daycare out of our house, so she quit to drive me to Seattle, stay with me for my 6 hours of therapy, and drive me back home.  Yes she is my mom and yes, that was her job - but she still deserves a BIG thank you.

4.  Whenever my parents come down to our house for dinner she is always the first one up from the table to do the dishes.  Never once has my mom left my house without my kitchen sparkling.  Thank you, mom.

5.  No matter what time of day or night, or how busy my mom is, I know I can call her and she will say exactly what I need to hear.  THANK YOU!!
