I'm playing for the GOLD!!!

I love Michael Phelps and I've been routing for him every opportunity I get. Mike and I stayed up until midnight several times just to watch him swim!! I love the olympic games and I think he is beyond awesome!! But here's my deal...I think motherhood should be right up there with olympic sports!! I mean seriously, the whole world has come to a halt to watch as men and women bring in the medals, beating their bodies up for first place!!

I'm playing for the GOLD too! I want to be the best mother I can for Mason and Gracie! I practice hard!! I know sometimes you feel like you want to quit the sport (like that's even an option...haha!). I know you may feel like your hard work is not noticed. I know that you are exhausted at the end of the day. I know that after you've put your children to bed at night, you sometimes feel like you've just finished the New York City Marathon!! I know these things because I feel them too!

So, here's to all of my mommy friends...I appreciate you for your hard work and dedication! I notice your efforts and I think all of you are champions!! Our jobs are tough ones...keep your eye on the prize - because at the end of our big race, we will have something much bigger and better than a gold medal!!
