I find therapy in blogging for two reasons. First because I get to vent about anything and everything and second because your feedback is important to me. When I read comments that I am not alone, or comments that I have you laughing, or crying I know that my words have meaning, not only to myself but to others. All bloggers live for comments.
So I wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to some other inspirational Mommies out there. Mommies like Mrs. M, who has four children, works a full time job, and at one time owned a motorcycle- my idol!
Megan- what can I say sister, I can barely manage one household and yet you manage your household in California as well as a second home along with two children. Hands down to you, I don't know how you do it. I don't doubt if I tried to manage a primary as well as a vacation home we would eventually wind up with a critical toilet paper shortage in one of the homes at the most inopportune time due to my disorganized chaos.
Kami, who has selflessly taken on the love of two beautiful little girls while trying to conceive. Your journey is without a doubt long and hard and I just know what a fantastic Mommy you really are.
Minnie... You crack me up. I love your blog. Rock on.
One of my favorite Mommy Idols, Beth. I just love Beth's sense of humor. Some days are good for her, some days are bad, but either way she is real. I can appreciate a "real" Mommy.
My very best friend Kymm... What can I say about you Kymm? I don't even think you read my blog but if you ever do let me just tell you, I adore you. I look up to you. I admire how you handle everything you go through with beauty and grace. You are such a good Mommy, I aspire to be a Mommy like you. Love you sister!
If you want a good laugh and you need a dose of real life go check out Crys. She really is a good Mommy. And she handled the poop incident much better than I know I would have. Seriously, check it out. Classic.
There are so many more fantastic Mommies that I know and time is so short tonight as my own Mommy eyes (even the ones in the back of my head) are burning with exhaustion. If I forgot you this time don't worry, I will post about you one of these days. Give me a really good reason to post though- tell me a toddler story. Or a poop story, I love those. Make me laugh. Make me cry. Make me feel like I'm not alone in this crazy thing called Motherhood. And in the mean time, give yourself some credit too. Here's to you!
What wonderful words, thank you so, so much.

Still got the motorbike - will have to post about my last outing. One of those 'could only happen to me moments'!

You are too cute for words Jenn! I now check your blog daily cause it always brings the smile, laugh out loud, sigh of relief moment I need at that point! You too are an amazing mom that I look up to! Can't wait to hang out again soon!
