I don't need mothers day to feel appreciated, just like he doesn't need father's day.

today is my "off" day, but I'm still helping him clean the house because this place is such a wreck it's too big of a mess for one person alone. I struggle to accept "off days" I'm a mom of 2 kids, and 2 dogs, I work and go to college full time. my boyfriend tells me everyday "thank you" because I took out trash, or picked up some toys, or vacuumed the rug. he appreciates little things I accomplish, and supports all the huge this I'm pushing towards. I don't NEED mothers day to feel appreciated, but it's nice being able to sleep in 2 days in a row, then lay on my couch with my babies all day.
