I entered a contest about why a mom should earn 130K a year... in 100 words or less. This is what I came up with:
As the mother of two girls under two, my day is never boring! As a matter of fact, it's a messy roller coaster of hugs, tears, boo-boos, squeals of laughter, cheerios all over the kitchen floor, spit-up in my hair, poop, poop, and more poop, "booty water" in the bathtub, silly songs, bedtime stories, and good night prayers. Raising two beautiful, intelligent, responsible girls in a world such as ours is not worth $130,000 a year. It's worth so much more... yet I'd do it forever for just one slobbery kiss and one heartfelt declaration: "Me love you, Mommy."
