So what am I REALLY teaching my kids?

This is something I've been pondering lately. After coming home from being gone for almost two weeks... I noticed a few things. For one, everybody seemed pretty happy to wait on me to do the laundry. Two, nobody seemed too upset about the tornado that obviously swept through our house while I was away. And three - these people I gave birth to are going to college in a few years....

So - what is a mother to do??? This mother decided to deal with the mess at hand. Heston and Holland both learned to do laundry this week and Chambre learned how to unload the dishwasher. I learned I don't have to do it all - YES!! And truly, being a good mom IS teaching a few life skills along the way.... right?! Please don't tell me your kids have been doing this and a whole lot more for a long time because that will burst the whole "mom vibe" I"m feeling right now... Sweet blessings - they are chasing me down!
