Snow Day

Our city has been hit very hard this week between several inches of snow and an ice storm. Our school district has been out of school for two days and tomorrow will make three. What has been the best part of these snow days is the quality time I have spent with my sons.

We have cooked together, camped out in the living room and played indoor basketball. Now that Ty is learning new words, we have to shoot hoops with the songs on loud. That translates into turn up the radio mommy. Oh! We have watched more than our share of Noggin.

If I can say one important thing about my life, I can say that I love being a mother. I could not imagine not making sure they went to bed at night or waking them up in the morning.

So many parents disregard their children, abuse their children, or place them in foster care for selfish reasons. Children aid our growth as people. I remember when my oldest was born I had no clue what it meant to be a mother and I was and am very fortunate to have strong women in my family as role models. My mother was definitely the model but she made sure I carried out my responsiblities.

Our lives are so busy with school, work and sports. Seldom do we have time just to be, the three of us, uninterrupted. These snow days are more than us not having to leave the house to go to school and work it truly has been our time to reconnect and revisit our fun and love for each other.

Happy Snow Day
