That's my only job title. I was writing our Christmas letter and it led me to some personal revelations...I'm just the mom. I started the letter with hellos, and then moved to what everyone has been up to. Taylor, Hunter and Claire had a paragraph full of what they have been doing, and what they have accomplished this year. Even Pat got a paragraph, I had one line...I have taken up tennis this year. Gosh is that all I have done, how pitiful!
Wait! Hold on! The reason my children have three very long and fulfilling paragraphs is because I have been there to allow those things to happen. I have forfeited the role of Megan for the role of Mom. I have given it all up for them! But... whoever sees the man behind the scenes, whoever gives credit to the middle man...Not many!
It is enough to have three happy children...To know in my heart that I created them, and I have given all of my self for them. They are my year. They are my accomplishments. They are who I am. For now that is enough for me, I just hope it is enough for them. So when you see my card(it will surely be late) know that in all actuality all of the first three paragraphs are what I have been doing...I would not want it any other way!
