Don’t judge

I can admit that I am just not that great of a mom.  Really.  I am not looking for kudo’s or atta girls, or yes you are’s.  I just know that I am an OK mom and that on some days, a decent mom, and other days…well…I won’t put the words in print of the kind of mom I can be.

Then there are days, like the other day….when it becomes necessary to either;

1- medicate me

2- restrain me

3- ship me far, far away

or…ALL THREE.

Like a lot of houses, we have been full of sickness and crankiness.

Unlike a lot of houses; I don’t deal well with it. And on one particular day, I just let everyone fall apart.

Started with kid number 4.

Then moved on to kid number three.

Then it even hit kid number 2.

Yes people.  All in the same day.  All within an hour or so.  And it kept going…and going…and going…

So what did I do?

Close your eyes.  What do you see?

That is what I did.  And let them all cry.

Then I walked away, poured a glass of wine and prayed.

I checked on a friend whose house is also full of sick and cranky kids. I asked how things were.  Here is her response;

See why I prayed?

And so they all lived to see another day.

Thank you God.

Cheers!
