I know. Who am I to be writing about being a mom?
I consider myself somewhat of an authority on mom's because I get to see, on a daily basis, an absolutely wonderful Mom at work. I learn from you every day, Cora. Thank you!
Here's one thing I've learned. Being a mom is like being a triage nurse (only you don't get a day off). Your job is to prioritize the thousands of things on your (and your family's) to-do list and make sure it all gets done. From making food, to waking tired children for school, to tying shoes, to putting Band-Aids on bruises... you, Mom, are the master of triage.
Can I give you one piece of advice?
Sometimes, the most important thing you can do is relax. Sometimes the demands of your children need to take a back seat to you. You are important. And without you, the triage falls apart quickly. So, don't forget to evaluate your needs in your daily triage. Take a break. You deserve it!
