appreciation

Ever feel unappreciated for the cooking, cleaning, dressing, feeding, bathing, etc. that you do for your kids? I have the perfect solution to help you feel appreciated and you can borrow him anytime: Logan.

I was just finishing sweeping and mopping our wood floors the other day which cover the majority of our upstairs, you know, the real kind of sweeping and mopping where you move furniture around. Hard work. Up comes Logan from downstairs where he had been playing. He stops. Eyes widen. He exclaims enthusiastically and amazed:

"Wow, mom, good job cleaning! Good job! Mom! Really good job cleaning."

Over and over he exclaims as he circles around the room staring at the shining floors.

I felt so appreciated...that is until I began to think, hmmmm, has it really been that long for these floors.
