**Warning: Not the typical lighted hearted, full of smiles and laughter post ahead.**
Some days I don't feel like a good mom. I find myself getting upset and aggravated quickly, I raise my voice more often than I should and like to, I don't spend as much time enjoying the moments, which I know are passing too quickly. I realize that all of this is happening right before my eyes and yet as hard as I try, on these days, I can't seem to do much to change it. I know that I am generally a good mom but I also know that there are things that I need to work on. I love my boys so much and only want what is best for them but some days I think maybe we just all need a break. Maybe absence really does make the heart grow fonder. Why then does the thought of sending Evan to preschool leave me feeling empty? So many emotions... maybe it's cabin fever, maybe it's been a long week, maybe it's the reality of knowing I can't give my boys everything they need and that soon I won't have as much time with them as I do now. What ever it is, today has been one of those days...this parenting stuff is tough!
Oh yes, parenting is tough, as well as the most important job in the world. You are a GREAT Mom, and wondering about it when things are rough makes you a responsible Mom - which may be more important.
