Do you ever feel like your just mean and unfair? I hear that from my kids here and there. I try my hardest to do whats right and then I feel so guilty that I've been mean? Well...I feel like that a lot of the time. It's so hard being a single mom and taking care of homework, feeding them, going to field day, dinner, scouts, running errands and going, going, going. Luckily for us we have taken a break from sports and it has been nice, we were just to busy and not making enough family time.
I love my husband dearly and we miss him terribly but I have to say that this process has been hard and testing me in ways that I am learning a lot about myself and how to be a better mother. I am so thankful for the gospel in my life, I would be lost with out it.
I love my kids with all my heart and try to do whats right even if I have to be tough. That's the hardest part about being a mom is that you do need to be tough and loving at the same time to teach them. I never realized how hard a mother's job is until your kids start to get older. Now that mother's day is coming up that's when us moms tend to feel a little guilty and think to ourselves - have we done enough for our children? or Have we taught them enough?
Well I hope you all have a great Mothers Day and Mom thank you for all that you have done for me and for putting up with everything that I have done.

One of my mom's favorite claims to fame was that she was the Meanest Mom in the World...and we all turned out alright. ;o)

Oh, Ari. I know this battle so well. And I'm sure it just gets harder as they get older. You love them so much, and with that you also have to teach. I try to remember the idea to be stern and then afterwards show an increase of love. Keep going, Ari. You are a wonderful mother! Adorable pictures!!
