This is my Auntie AKA Annie.
(No, her name is not Annie, but when I was little, I pronounced AunTie like AnNie and it stuck. So now that's what we all call her. :)
She is seriously one of the best people in this entire world. And I am not just saying that because we are related and clearly all of my relatives are awesome. But really.
She works SO hard at her job and raising her beautiful FOUR girls :)
Exhibit A: A few years ago, she had a kid in preschool, one in elementary school, one in middle school and one in high school. (Note to self: Do not volunteer to ride along to do four school pick-up stops. IT TAKES FOREVER. I was the one complaining and wanting to watch the DVD player in the backseat. But my auntie did that EVERY single day, without complaining.
Exhibit B: I wish I could show you a picture of her daily laundry load, but she would probably be mad at me. Like SEVEN LOADS AT A TIME???? And yep, no complaining and everything is perfectly folded.
Exhibit C: She makes things like THIS. and has the patience and always let us help when we were little and it would have been waaaaaay easier to just have her make them herself. Her house is always the house with the Easter Egg dying parties with hundreds of hardboiled eggs, or the Super Bowl parties with pedicure stations. You should SEE this woman's nail kit. It's like a HUGE fishing tacklebox but filled with EVERY color of polish you could imagine and sparkles. Her Kool-Aid packets? Organized alphabetically :) 
One of the best things this pretty little lady has taught me? Life is HARD, but we just gotta keep on, keepin' on.
Like she always says, "Yeah, the grass may be greener on the other side, but you still have to mow it."
Love it. Love her. Loving that it's almost Friday. Your weekend homework? Be grateful for what you have this weekend :) I am grateful for you, Annie :)
