Role Playing--A Mother's Life

As any parent will soon find out, you wear many hats. You take on different roles, sometimes going through a dozen in one afternoon. My favorite and most challenging role I've played yet, is being a mother. A role, I truly cherish.

Other roles I play are, chauffeur, cook, laundress, mediator, game developer, style assistant, dog walker, house cleaner, magician, referee---ahh, the list endless. Other mothers can attest to this. It's the constant-changing of roles that keeps me on my toes, that keep me moving forward, and that keep my little corner of the world, somewhat interesting on a daily basis. These roles may seem unforgettable to many, but they are nonetheless, very important ones. 

To all the mothers out there, young and old, big and small, I wish you a very Happy Mother's Day. One day is not enough to celebrate all the roles you play everyday. You are often the heart of the home, the CEO busily organizing, reorganizing, downsizing, and perhaps expanding, various things to keep "life happening." It's an exhausting job without financial rewards. Because, your rewards are priceless and cannot be quantified.
