Grandmas

I am so incredibly blessed to have a mom and a mother-in-law who are awesome, to say the least. They just set the standard for the kind of mom/mother-in-law I want to be when my kids get married and start having kids. They know how to come over and be helpful in just the right kind of way and I appreciate it so much. This past week, they've both been their weight in gold! My MIL came over yesterday, as she does every Tuesday so I can go to yoga. Yesterday though, I wasn't feeling the best and was afraid I was on the edge of another bout with mastitis so I decided not to go to yoga but to take it easy instead...as much as is possible with 4 kids that is. She came anyway. I ran a few errands and had lunch...alone...and then came home to one sleeping twin and I proceeded to lie down with the other one while she cleaned my kitchen and washed all of the dishes before leaving. That's just priceless in my life right now!

My mom arrived last night to see the truly obscene collection of clean laundry awaiting folding and putting away. It had outgrown the 6 laundry baskets and the wall in the laundry room was playing a key role in keeping it all from spilling onto the floor. It was bad. She enlisted the boys and they got it all sorted, folded and all but mine and Tim's put away. Then, she helped me start dinner before she left. So nice. I feel spoiled sometimes but I also appreciate it so much that it's beyond words. It's the kind of thing that I want to do for my sons and their wives some day so I can pay it forward. I am truly, so incredibly blessed to have these women in my life. I love you both. Thank you!
