There are days when I feel like a great mom. Days when I am funny and witty and have it all together. Days when lunch and dinner go so smoothly and everyone is happy and I feel like life is a sitcom. There are those days when I get all my work done, have time to play with the kids and still have dinner on the table and sit to down to enjoy a movie or something with the Hubby.
Those are just days when I feel like I totally know what I am doing and that I am doing it so well and I completely have it all together.
I love those days.
Today is not one of those days.
Today I have blown it more times than I can count. Today I have been short and snippy. All of my work is done and the kids rooms are clean, but I don't want to have to remember the words exchanged to get them that way. Even though I have recognized it and am attempting to correct it now, I still feel bad.
I truly think that one of God's most amazing gifts is that no matter how you blow it, as a mom your kids still think you are the best one there is. I love that about them. It challenges me to actually be the mom that they think I am. As I think of the memories I am creating for them, I am challenged to make sure they are good ones and not ones I will regret when they are big. So I have to actually think before I speak, kinda a stretch sometimes, but I try.
But as my dear friend Dr. Suess says "Today was good, today was fun, tomorrow is another one"

The words of another famous friend who's name aludes me -
"You're Gonna' Miss This".
