She has been one of my greatest cheerleaders and encourager's. I am also married to a great mom - my wife Kathy. She has a done a great job with my kids, Jon-Michael and Kaity. I don't know what my life would be like with out these two women in my life.<br /><br /><a href="http://news.bostonherald.com/news/regional/general/view.bg?articleid=1092804&amp;srvc=home&amp;position=emailed">The Boston Herald</a> reported on a study released from salary.com that said mom's in U.S.America deserved a salary of nearly $117,000. WOW!! Talk about some coin. But can we really put a price on the work mom does in our homes and lives? I don't think so. I don't think there is a dollar amount we can assign to her work.<br /><br />I know, at times, it's hard to buy a gift for mom for Mother's Day. Sometimes all it takes is a phone call just to let her know that you love her and that you appreciate her sacrifice. I know what my wife wants for Mother's Day - Inoko's!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1609414225628645361-9150711431721886429?l=mikesshownotes.blogspot.com'/></div>Mike Shelleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04838239965825820554noreply@blogger.com0
