Do you ever have one of those days where you just feel like the absolute worst mother in the world? Well, I have felt like that for a few days (maybe even weeks). I don't know what was up. I kept feeling like I was losing my cool just about every second with my kids of every day. Maybe it was me, maybe it was them or maybe it was an extremely bad combination. I just felt like all my efforts to discipline were just being exhausted and I found myself sitting alone in my bathroom a lot lately trying to count to 10 and take deep breaths. However, after talking to a friend recently, I felt like maybe I wasn't just enjoying my kids as much as I should be. Maybe I was too focused on getting "stuff" done instead of focusing my attention on just my kids. So, this past week, I put the endless list of stuff down and just got down on the floor to play. I can't say much of the acting out has stopped, but I did realize that my sympathy and patience was a bit stronger. So, this post is to my awesome kids who I love uncontrollably. Thank you for teaching mom to stop and enjoy the moments.
