So this morning was ONE OF THOSE MORNINGS. Things went wrong and I lost my temper with JG and then had to apologize to him. He said "its ok mama when I get older like you, I can fuss at you for not being a good listener when its time to pick up your toys." As I laughed quietly to myself as we made our way to go get the flu shots, I thought today can only look up. So as we go to McDonalds after shots, because he wanted chicken nuggets,frenchfries,spriteandatoy. Said that fast, and in order. I am in line, G is crying because shes tired, I am telling JG in the nices of voices to please stop running away from me and stand in line. A lady comes up to me and says "i hope that when I have two, I can be as calm and put together as you." WHAT???!?!?! She wasnt joking, even though I am sure she was. I guess I then realized that she cant see inside my mind, that 101010 things are going on, I yelled at my 3 year old this morning, the house looks like a tornado hit it, and Im behind on laundry. Appearances can be decieving......but as I got in the minivan and headed off, I thought, maybe I have it a little more together than I give myself credit for. I do bring my kids everywhere, and do fun things with them, and try to make everyday special. Most days I am able to stay calm.....so all you mommies out there who think they dont have it together. Give yourself some credit, your kids are alive and well, dressed, clean (most days) and they are happy......
Sometimes I think we are harder or ourselves than anyone else is. Food for thought.
