Blog Entry 14 of 14 Entrepreneur Vs. Mommyworld
Who Am I? Well, why have I erased what I started five times already? I guess because I am still searching for who I am. Yes, I am a mother of three wonderful, beautiful, loving, never have gotten in trouble in their lives kind of boys. (At least not within the last few minutes...right, they are at school.) Who else am I? I am also a NEW ENTREPRENEUR. Within the last year, I have started three new business. Yippee! Each business is very different and separate from the other, but they are all interesting in their own right. Let's look at the facts and see where I fit the best. To start this blog, I had to cut myself out from the middle of the three little toe heads. Just this morning, I made an appointment to have my taxes done (payment = a kidney). When dropping the boys off at school, I got cut off by a rude driver and I flipped him off in the school line (personal note, never do that, his child is probably in your child's class), I made a wholesale order for business goods without having to ask for help (o.k. only three calls, but who's counting??), I washed a load of jeans and only one chapstick was found in the dryer this time (who in the world knows how to get out that stain?), successfully found some business receipts and only one had a picture of Yoda on the back, and most importantly remembered to say this morning, "I love my life!" I mean, being who I am is just great....now to go figure out who that is....

Hiya Mom!
Contributed by: Sara Crowe   on 5/8/2008

My mother was a true gem. There were so many things about her that I can't even begin to start a list that would describe all of her wonderful and beautiful characteristics.

She made me feel good about myself, she was always present, she knew and loved my friends, she helped me discover the world, and she always knew just what I needed.

One lesson I remember her teaching me when I was in junior high was this, "If you are in a situation that feels uncomfortable, get out of it and you can blame it all on me." I used that tactic a couple times before I was out of the house.

How is it that she gave me comfort in uncomfortable situations?

She was a phone gal. She made lists of things that she would want to tell me when I talked to her. (We talked at least once every day almost every day off my life.)

How I loved the long and short conversations that we had that were filled with laughter, true conversation, and sometimes a few tears.

She had a dream to take my three boys to Disneyland as soon as they would enjoy it. She took us there...it was nine months before her passing. She held on until they would remember that trip...I know that she did, because she wanted them to remember Gram C as a special and loving grandma...not someone who was sick.

On the eve of the second anniversary of her death I just want to say, "Hiya Mom! I love you!."

As we celebrate Mother's Day this weekend, give your mom an extra hug for me. I miss those.
