Ode to Mom Friends

One of my friends coined the term "Mom Friends" and I want to give an ode to all of you! You have made my life funnier, lighter, more peaceful, and richer!

• Thank you for laughing at my kids' antics when they really weren't funny
  


• Thank you for knowing when my daughter was making me crazy, and calling just at that moment to invite her over to play with your daughter
  


• Thank you for encouraging me to pamper myself a bit
  


• Thank you for giving me great books to read and not minding when it takes me months to give them back (ditto for movies!)
  


• Thank you for discussing those books and movies with me even when we really should be working/ figuring out what the kids are up to/ etc./ etc.
  


• Thank you for only caring about the "shoulds" that really matter
  


• Thank you for hanging out at my house chatting and drinking coffee just as if it was as much fun as going out
  


• Thank you for listening to the same stories over again
  


• Thank you for praying for me, my husband, and my children
  


• Thank you for encouraging and creating mom centered activities
  


• Thank you for going along with me on some adventures that didn't really turn out to be that fun (but the chatting always is!)
  


• Thank you for taking me as I am!
