SuperMom

Hi all. 

I don't think I can ever speak too highly of my mom. 
She is so hardworking, sacrificial, funny, caring, patient, and I can go on and on...
So last Sunday when my aunt asked her to go to North Carolina to visit my aunt, my mom's sister-in-law, we all told her to go! 
We wanted her to have a little getaway, and a fun filled weekend.

She wouldn't have to and kept saying, I can't leave the kids...the household chores...the packing...making food, etc. Tons of excuses. I reassured her that I was 20 years old and more than capable of handling the "household" duties. So, we basically made her go, against her will.

She did enjoy it and had a good time. 

Us at home? We did perfectly fine. Nick and Mark actually emptied and put the dishes in the dishwasher-I don't think they've ever done it before. The house was strangely always clean on a weekend. (It must be my mom and Lena and Victor who make the mess (they went too) lol).  
Leah and Andrew did great too. Monday morning I was helping Andrew get ready for school and asked him what else I could do. He said, you can't give me what I want I want mom. It was so cute. 

I felt like superwoman too sometimes ;) I did all the cooking all weekend-except Saturday morning when Nick made eggs, and for that I felt so bad because I thought I should have been the one cooking. Am I becoming like my mom? I came home Monday at 4:45, made dinner and left a half hour later for babysitting. I felt so accomplished because I got dinner on the table in such a short time, and again, felt like a superwoman full of responsibilities inside and outside the home because of school.

Of course we were all glad when mom returned-can't live without her, but I hope she realizes that she should and could go on little getaways once in a while without the house getting out of control.

Blessings,
Lesya
