As you know, it always gets better, but when you're in the thick of it all, it's HARD and it's hard not to think of yourself as a failure. Ugh. Thankfully our kiddos love us no matter what...the same way we love THEM no matter what. <br /><br />I love your honesty.

They look young and innocent and I remember how little they actually are, especially when I catch myself wanting them to behave much older than they are. <br /><br />Go eat a cookie...it'll make ya feel better. :)historygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079840927336938685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-33149223796498524142012-10-21T11:24:42.613-05:002012-10-21T11:24:42.613-05:00I hope that your weekend is going much better than...I hope that your weekend is going much better than your week did.

I love my kiddos more than anything and want to be the best mom and always worry that I could do better. I'm working on not being so hard on myself...it IS a hard time with little ones. Just imagine when we are dealing with teenagers! I'm glad you found an outlet in making cookies...something you all could enjoy together. You do SO many great things from what I can see and I can tell you have such a great heart...You are a great mom!Wisconsin Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02126902969299740691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-4372961744576184682012-10-20T08:46:08.698-05:002012-10-20T08:46:08.698-05:00#1 you're a good mom.

We all do the best we can and some days (maybe most, but goodness I hope not), it could have gone better. I promise you though those are not the memories the kids are making. Hang in there. You're in one of the toughest phases for sure. Another couple of years and the routines of morning and homework will be so much easier.Mom24https://www.blogger.com/profile/00061152728345287775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-52240446819680621722012-10-19T19:16:36.914-05:002012-10-19T19:16:36.914-05:00awe. from what I can tell, you are a great mother,...awe. from what I can tell, you are a great mother, and we all have our moments.

Some...Aw, I'm SURE you don't stink at this! Some weeks are just harder than others. When I've had a bad day (or week) especially with being patient, I try and talk to my kids about it so they can understand it really isn't THEM, it's me. And we try and talk about what we can do to have a better day/week next time. I've done so well with this in fact that now my 13 year old will occasionally try and give me tips for how to "be less stressed" like saying "Mom, I think you need 5 minutes to yourself, you seem really stressed" or "Mom, I think maybe you should spend some time reading something fun before you do your homework tonight because you weren't in a very good mood today." :) <br />Enjoy your cookies, and know that we ALL "stink at this" sometimes, but Moms can only be humans too!Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12514992909586849215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-17879333912965781482012-10-19T16:03:41.511-05:002012-10-19T16:03:41.511-05:00LOL!!
