Had one of those days - you wake up and say "I'm gonna be a 'good' mom today". Then within 2 minutes, you're frustrated, yelling and wanting to rip your hair out. Then you write a note to your daughter's teacher on a coloring book sheet, you forget to feed your son breakfast and then realize you're running late to get your kid to school. Then you're losing your temper over something as silly as crumbs on the floor. But then you stop. Breathe. And say "I got this. I AM a good ... mom". Then you find yourself bribing your 4 year old with food just so she will take a nap so you can have some peace and quiet (I can't be the only one - can I get an "Amen", moms??). But you do what you have to do for your own sanity. I always found it strange, when on an airplane they say "parents traveling with young children, put your mask on before your child". I would think, "why would I do that?! They need the oxygen!" But ohhh.... it all makes sense; we can't help our children if we're not breathing. There's days I need the oxygen mask first and today was one of those days. Tomorrow is a new day, a new start, a new chance to be the best mom I can be. mother of the bride casual dresses
