She never knows

I have been away from posting for a while, and I would love to blame it on life and being too busy and what not, but I have two sisters who manage to keep the world updated....so I thought I better try.

My kids are amazing, more amazing then yours,  (although I am sure I am biased)...but my wife is more amazing than all and I have never explained why.

So, why.....

1)  Kelly has an ability to put her kids first, no matter how the day has gone.
2)  She runs a million dollar company, that she would throw away if any of her daughters said they did not get enough attention.
3)  This company she started with an intern now has clients like Cargill, Land O Lakes and Ecolab
4)  She has never missed an event for her girls...whether it is reading to the first grade class or going on a field trip to the zoo
5)  She sends me a "week in review" to help me know who needs to be where and when
6)  She lays out all of the kids clothes each morning......including mine.

I could go on and on with what she contributes...but what I want to share with all of my readers is this.

Monetarily, we have been successful....but the sole reason my kids will succeed is because they have a MOM.  I do not know how she does it.  I am consistently amazed that she runs our household as she does.

Sadly, as with many moms, she does not hear "good job" enough.  She NEVER KNOWS how much she is needed.  But tonight, she is in Chicago...traveling for business.....and my girls could not have cared becuasethey got to say goodnight to her, they got to see her thanks to Face Time and they know that before she left...she laid out all of their clothes and told dad what their snacks should be.

So, I share with you this not because I think you should reach out to Kelly and say "good job" but because all of my posts only talk about my kids.

I am hopeful that in the future when they read this, they will read about an amazing gal who helped raise them.

Kelly, your achievements will never be documented enough, but please know that you are an amazing individual.

Because every time I ask them if they love me, they ask me where mom is....I love ALL my girls...
