its okay...every mom has done it

You know those days when the kid/s are crabby. They are fighting. They are sassy(if your kids are 3 or older you understand)and it seems like nothing you do is right and you question yourself as a parent. Yeah its okay...all moms have been there.

Or those days when you are tired and the kid/s are just pushing your buttons all days so you yell at one for something that normally you wouldn't really care about and then you feel bad after? yeah its okay...all moms have been there.

Or those days that have been packed with errands, or playdates, or a combination of both and all you want to do is sit on your ass and not think about anything? So you count the minutes and seconds until bedtime and once the kids are in bed and the house is quiet you can not help but smile because you are so happy not to have to "deal"with them anymore? Yeah its okay...all moms have been there.

Or those days when you were suppose to do something because you had promised your kid/s the night before and then things get so crazy and busy you totally forget until they remind you right before bedtime and then you feel like shit? Its okay...all moms have been there.

Or those days when everything seems to be going so smoothly, and everyone is listening and getting along, and you just can't get enough hugs and kisses? Yeah all moms have been there and those days are the best.

SO don;t worry if you have a bad day. Or if you suddenly question every parenting choice you have made. Or if you are so stressed out all you want to do is crack a beer at noon and sit in the bathroom ALONE. Parenting is not always easy. In fact I think most days its hard. I think we all question the things we do, or say to our kids.W wonder if we are making the right decisions for our kids. If they are going to grow up and accomplish everything we want for them.We wish we could give them more while at the same time complaining that they have to much. But this is what we signed up for when we had kids. This is what we somewhat knew we were getting into. And no matter how bad the day I am having I know other moms, including mine, have been there and survived. I know that at the end of the day I will kiss my kids goodnight, tell them I love them and they will go to bed happy and wake up ready for another day. I know that a simple hug or kiss or smile from one of them makes me realize that I am doing something right and can turn the worst day into a good one.
