Super Angie...there is no charge for awesomeness

After having an extremely hard time, and thinking extremely negative thoughts, a very wise friend told me to make a list of all the things, big and small that I do that makes me an AWESOME MOM...so here goes.

• i put lotion on my kid's faces when they are dry and cracked.
• sometimes i help them with their chores
• i hang up their art work, all over the house
• i let them decorate their own room
• i understand that sometimes, everyone needs a "do nothing" day
• i take them out with me for one on one activities
• i let them serve me and I serve them
• i let my kids listen to the chipmunks almost daily in the car
• i help Dallin with his scouting acheivements and make sure he gets things done
• i sing to Tanith
• I believe in Brennan--I don't think he's dumb like many probably do.
• I like to do sports or activities with my kids.
• I cook healthy food for them, and have healthy snacks for them.
• I let them keep their toys out in the main family room instead of banishing them to the basement--I want to be where they can see me and I can see me.
  
• I like teaching them about the world
• I like making faces at them
• I like cuddleing with them
• I have a house full of photos of them...in every room there are many
• I encourage them to have a good relationship with their dad and step mom.
• if they don't want to learn a sport or take a particular class or lesson, I don't force the matter, simply because society thinks its normal for kids their age to do certain things.
• i love them no matter what
