Letter to my girls

Elizabeth and Ella,

Today I am just not in the mood. 

I am not in the mood to be a full time working Mom.  I wish I could work part time so I would have more time to help you with your life.  Bummer we need money.   :-)

Ella - I wish you didn't have to go to aftercare and have to learn that some "friends" only want what you can give them instead of just having fun. I am working on fixing the problem Ella so stay your sweet self and don't let this change your sweet nature.

Elizabeth - I wish we had more time at night for homework and reading so you would not have to struggle so hard with some parts of school.  You soar at so much and I know struggle makes you stronger - I just wish it wasn't so.  

Just know that I am going to continue to talk to my boss about changing my hours while you guys are young and hopefully I will be successful one day soon.  If not, we will continue to working together to succeed and be the strong family we are. 

Love you both and I am very proud of you.

Love
Mom.

Lump in my throat, and your girls will have them too when they are old enough to read this post and understand just how hard it is to make it all work for the best of everyone.
