1. All the times she actually sat down and played with my kids. I knew if I was cooking or cleaning or just needed a moment she would be there. Especially when I was working a running around like a crazy person she would be there to play with them.
2. My husband and I could actually go out and not have to worry if my kids are being good for a babysitter or if the babysitter is being good to my kids.
3. My mom feels sorry for me when I am sick.
4. Her coming over and just "doing stuff" like laundry, scouring the tub, sorting socks, wiping the floor etc etc etc
5. Always knowing I can make an apt. and not have to worry about who is taking the kids and when I can go.
6. Us talking about the same subject for an hour. Men can talk but not go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about 1 topic for hours...
7. Her saying "this is sooooo good" to whatever I cook compared to the "oh its OK" or no comment that I get now.
8. Having an emergency contact. Do you know when we got here I could not fill out the emergency form for Summer's school? That was the oddest feeling.
9. Her making a fuss over me.
10. I miss you mommy!! I just realized this is the longest time we have been apart ever since college!

It's very hard to be away from family but you'll meet others that are in the same boat. We've come to rely on our neighbors for emergency contacts, pet care, mail pick up, etc. It's hard to trust others in our current society but when you know someone else that needs your help just as much it becomes easier.
awwwww.. totally true. a girl can never be away from her mom for long.
I have 2 emergency contacts now. But I am not sure I would feel comfortable with these people picking up my kids. I mean I just met them. But its better then nothing! UR are right Maria it is hard to trust- that's my biggest issue right now.
