For the sake of balance, I want to report on a good day too. Monday was a good day. I got to sleep in. My girls played happily in the playroom with a friend for an hour which gave me time to exercise. I implemented a new "healthy eating" system for teaching my kids (and myself) about healthy, balanced food choices. I took a little nap while my kids watched a little TV and then we turned it off for the day. I helped A get his homework done. I made homemade pizza for dinner with whole wheat flour and turkey pepperoni. I turned on some Disneyland music and the kids and I danced around the kitchen and talked about our upcoming trip while the pizza cooked. We had a fun family outing to Walmart where we played with all the toys and didn't buy any. I laughed with my kids. I cuddled with my kids. My husband read to me as I fell peacefully asleep that night. Tuesday was similar. These may not be my ultimate "best" days of motherhood, but they are normal days. They are good, happy days.
Sounds like a good day to me! You should read this blog: http://www.daringyoungmom.com/2012/12/19/drops-of-awesome/. It helped me feel better about not being the perfect mom. (It actually relates a little more to your last post, but I'll post it here anyway). Good luck today, I'm thinking of you!
