Ode to my Sister

I'm following Beka's lead, with an ode to someone I love. I was just wallowing in the fact that I didn't have a nanny when my sister came and saved my life yesterday. It's amazing how by just taking one child from me for the day, how I can accomplish so much. While Dave and Ya were skiing again this week, she helped me with the kids. I could not ask for a greater wish to be granted. I was giddy with fact that I was able to clean two bathrooms, mop my downstairs, clean the kitchen, get some work done, have phone conversations uninterrupted, and even do laundry (which I hate most of all). And I was even happy after I had done all this. That doesn't happen often. None of this could have happened without a sister who dealt with a poopy diaper and no spare diapers in sight. She also braved a grocery store with my little sprinter. That's huge! I am truly grateful for family in my life, near and far. It may sound sappy, but Tami will never know what a wonderful gift she gave me yesterday.
