High Maintenance Mom

I am very excited about Mother's Day this year. Mainly because it will be my first Mother's Day as a Mom but also because I think I deserve it. Ok, I know that sounds a bit high maintenance....well, at least I found the right web site! My husband is the most wonderful man (aside from my father who passed away 2 years ago) in the world but he travels so much that sometimes I feel like a single Mom. I have new respect for single Mom's. My husband had to travel to Asia when our little girl was 2 weeks old and he continues to do so every month for 10 days. I do my best to schedule his family for a visit or I take my daughter and all of her paraphernalia to my Mom's house 2 hours away. It is so hard at her young age (5 months). I cherish the times he is in town and he does his best to spend as much time with her as possible. It's hard for all of us but I am sure it is very hard for my husband who has to be away from us. We love skype.com because we can talk via internet and we also have a camera set up so we can see eachother....that is fun for the baby. So, this Mother's Day I will praise my own amazing Mother, think of all of the single Mom's out there and frankly, give myself a pat on the back and expect my darling husband to take care of the baby for the day. That isnt too much to ask....is it?
