We have a brick entryway to our house that was once covered in astroturf. When we moved in, the majority of it had been scraped off, except for little bits here and there. Today my mom spent a couple of hours scraping off the rest.
Not to be a Debbie Downer to the young moms reading this, but if you think that you are serving your children now....just wait till your kids are grown and have kids of their own. Today, my mom arrived at my house at 8am. She helped give Baby P a bath. Then she did his laundry, then she did our laundry. Then she made our bed. She cleaned up the bath stuff and put it away. She probably started scraping the astroturf about then...but I can't be sure. Then she gave Baby P his bottle. Then she played with Baby P. And then we put him to bed. She helped me get my sandwich ready even though she was starving.
Then she told me this really cool story about how she got to see her very first American friends yesterday. They actually were the ones that picked her up from the airport when she first arrived in 1968.
Then she cleaned up lunch and then she made this beautiful fruit platter with nectarines, apples, and cherries. I should have taken a picture of it, because she arranged the fruit in a way that only a mom can do. I'm sure she did some other stuff after that, only I haven't discovered it yet. Then it was time to feed Baby P again. And then she played with him.
She was such a blessing to me today. I hope that I can be as helpful to my children as she is to me.
