Today is a Day for MOM!!

I am really sad today because I am not home for Mother's Day. I was a good girl and sent her a totally amazing gift but I would have much rather just been able to take her our for coffee and spend the day with her. Instead I had to sleep for most of the day because I worked last night. I called her and we talked but it just wasn't the same, I would have given anything to be in Rhode Island today. I will consider myself blessed when the day comes where my mother and I can be together for mothers day (and someday celebrate together when I'm a mommy too!)

My mom is one of the biggest reasons why I went into Nursing. She went to nursing school at night and got her ADN in 1992. Now that I am a nursing school graduate I have a deeper understanding/respect that she worked during the day, had class at night, and still had time for me and my brother while we were so young. I still don't understand how she did that and held on to her sanity. I had a hard enough time and I was ONLY doing school. She is my role model 100%. She is a wonderful nurse, and if I can grow up to be half of the woman she is, I would consider myself lucky

So cheers to my mom, the best mom on the whole freakin' planet!! (as far as i'm concerned!)
