Just yesterday, I called my mom and asked her if she ever felt like a bad Mom when we were little "tirants"... The reason I called and asked her that and sent a text to my sister asking the same question is... you love your children so much but some days - you feel like you just want to get to the end of the day. You just want to have no responsibility that day. With a child, you don't have a choice. BUT - at the end of the day when they are sleeping peacefully and look so sweet and innocent - you feel TERRIBLE! What is wrong with me? Why can't I just enjoy this little lamb? I think every Mother has had this moment (more than once). Sometimes I dream about being in a cabin up in the mountains ALL BY MYSELF, where I can let out a big scream! This morning I woke up feeling less cranky and was able to enjoy Sam. Scott took to me to see the movie, "The Help", and it was awesome! When we went to pick up Sam, she was jumping up and down with excitement and as soon as I picked her up - she waved by to Nana and Papa. It warmed my heart to know that I'm a good enough mom to have my little one do that! That Nana and Papa are hard to compete with :) It's nice to know that Sam loves her Mom and Dad and doesn't hold a grudge (yet) on days where we are tired and cranky! Tomorrow, we are going to have a picnic together - and enjoy a day off :)
