i am fully aware that nobody is perfect. and i completely embrace my imperfections. i don’t care that my house is a mess. i don’t care that there is a ton of laundry to be done. i don’t care that my car hasn’t been vacuumed in forever. should i? what does that say about me– that i can live amongst this mess and be okay with it? it says– i just cannot do it all. i am not superwoman. yes, i would like to be. i guess i am nesting? the thought of another little one in the house is really sinking in. anyways, today was not one of those days where i was my usual self. i was NOT okay with everything. i snapped at my kids when they told me i needed to do laundry (in my head i am going, YOU DO IT!) i snapped at my kids (and chris–sorrrrrry) for EVERY little thing. ugh. and that’s how they went to school this morning. that’s a crappy way for a kid to start the day. š¦ so sorry. that’s how i’ve been feeling all morning. i put this little painted vase that kira made me on her desk with a card. i know she will forgive and this tiny gesture will mean the world to her.
today, i did 3 loads of laundry, put dinner in the crock pot, swept and mopped the kitchen floor and vacuumed my car AND trunk. that’s just house stuff- not to mention all the scrap/work stuff i had to do. yes, it felt good… but i would sure like to get back to my normal self soon. this is ridiculous.

I know exactly how you feel, it’s one of the more challenging aspects of being a mother. On the upside, you taught your kids that you’re human and that you know how to apologize. Those are big things. Plus, making such a cute card for your daughter–priceless. The only reason I can think of that we have to go through rough days is so that we can recognize and appreciate the better days. I hope you feel better soon.

Oh, Jamie. Even though we are mommies, we can NOT do it all. Had me one of those kinds of days too. Good for you, getting stuff done. Better for the sweet, sweet gesture you left Kira. Hope tomorrow is better for you. Hugs, hun!

how sweet is that card?
it is so tough sometimes being
a mom and everything else that
goes along with that title.
i have been really short with my family too–just too much on my plate and the possibility of delivery at any moment makes for a crazy woman!!!!
thinking of you, jamie!
sounds like you accomplished a lot today!

i think everyone has those days. I love that you did something about it though….how sweet to make her a card – I’m sure she loved it. I need to remember to do more “little” things for my kids like this. Thank you, Jamie.
