I have had so very many days like that. My kids have pulled me through more than they will ever know.
When I got married the 2nd time, I had the song “Everything I Do (I Do It For You)” by Bryan Adams played, for my kids.

I’m trying very hard to hold onto my “best mommy” place, especially in my daughter’s eyes. She’s nine and I’m just on the precipice of going from beloved mother to meanest mother ever! Sometimes I feel like I disappoint her so much but there’s no way for her to understand that it’s not because I don’t love her it’s because I’m trying to raise her to be a functional, well adjusted, moral, kind and compassionate, loving adult.

And I think, just maybe, it’s working. The other night, I was in a tizzy over dinner. The meal was not turning out how I’d planned and when we sat down to eat I was bracing myself for complaints. Instead, she tucked in then looked up and said, “thank you for making dinner Mommy!” And not to be left out, her little brother added his thanks as well. Just like that, my worries and frustrations over the meal were gone and we all enjoyed a pleasant time around the table, together.

Mine seem to know exactly when I need talking down from the cliff. Of course, they are often the reason I am teetering on the edge to begin with…
yep, parenthood is an amazing dichotomy.

Would it be irreverent to say I want to make out with this post and have babies with it? (You know, if I wasn’t already so damn sick of being pregnant. Hee)

xoxoxo

GORGEOUS.

So, so sweet. And true. And hard to keep in perspective at times…like at 6:32 am this morning…and 10:43 this morning…and 3:37 this afternoon and 8:07 when EVERYONE SHOULD BE IN BED OR YOUR MOTHER IS GOING TO HAVE A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN.

I haven’t a clue what you are talking about…ha!
