I know WE can make it.

Some days, like today, when I am at school for 12 hours straight, planning and preparing lessons, I often wonder how, in the future, I will be able to handle being both a mother and a teacher, balancing the responsibilities of home and work.

But then I walk in the house after my husband's day off from work to find:
- neglected clean laundry folded up on a made bed
- a load of laundry being cleaned
- swept deck
- dinner made and ready to eat
- vacuumed floor
- organized mail
- clean floors

And, somehow, I know we can make it. It is a team effort.

Chris,

I am SO thankful to have you as a husband. You do more than pull your weight around here to help keep our house a clean home. You are understanding of my long hours and the extreme demand of my job. You take care of me. I don't deserve this! I love you so much.
