I Am A Mother


My dear friend Diana gave me this book for Mothers Day. I just finished reading it last week. It is one of the best books I have read. I strongly recommend it for anyone who is a mother or who is married to a mother or who loves a mother.
It is written by a Latter Day Saint woman who was the host of the CBS morning show a few years back. She gave up her career when she had kids and stayed home to raise her children. A lot of people thought she was crazy and it bothered her when she would go to social events and people would ask what she was doing now and when they found out they would say, "Oh, you're just a mom."
In her book she talks about how important being a mom really is and the impact it has on society. It really is an excellent book. Especially for those moms out there who feel like they really aren't making a difference day in and day out as they do the laundry and wash the dishes and all the things moms do everyday and then get to turn around and do it all over again tomorrow. I know, I have felt that way before.
Like I said, it is an excellent book and you MUST MUST read it. It is full of so many wonderful quotes. I marked my copy all up, there were so many things in it I loved. Thanks Diana!

How come my stupid thing is back to not making paragraphs anymore? I skipped like 4 lines in between each paragraph I wanted to make!
