Whew...it is quiet in my house and has been now for about 20 minutes. It has been a long few days at work (great weekend in between). Today was no exception. Today is one of the days I sit and wonder why I am a mom. Today I didn't do such a good job of being a mom. I came home and worked at the kitchen table with B while he did his homework. I then parked both of them in front of the TV so that I could continue to work. I don't do this very often, but guilt doesn't begin to describe it when I do. I did actually make them "dinner". Tomato soup & a grilled cheese sandwich. Bath time was very quick and back to the kitchen table to work more. I am frustrated with this project at work, and I wasn't nice to my children.
Now I sit here on the landing at the top of the stairs...with my laptop. Still reading new e-mail at 9:00 pm on this project. But, it is quiet...I can hear them both breathing now as they sleep. What a beautiful sound. Not just the silence, but their sounds. I am blessed to have them and thankful for them. Wishing I hadn't raised my voice, had NO patience, thankful I apologized to them. Tomorrow is a new day, a clean slate. The good thing is they still love me when I am not the best mom.
I welcome tomorrow.

Ya know, I think God knew we Women would need someone to love us unconditionally thru all of our moods. That is why He sent us children. I am amazed everyday that my children still love me. I raise my voice a LOT more than I would like to. I pray daily for forgivness and understanding. You are a great Mom and a great person. Don't forget that!!
