Another day is done and I walk in the door to this. A big, fat reminder of all the things I did NOT do today. I feel the pressure rising in my chest; that clenching, stressed out crazy feeling. The one I get right before I snap at my kids over nothing, bite my husbands head off and walk around feeling sorry for myself. But a gentle word from my daughter gives me a little reality check about what I DID do today. I went on a walk with a friend. I got to spend the day at the Pumpkin Patch with two of my children, which Im able to do because my husband works overtime so that I can. I fed my friends cat, the friend who helps me at a moments notice. The friend like all my friends that would do anything for me. I took my kids to the store just because Reed was so excited about pumpkin candy corn he had to have it. I sword fought with Reed. I played with Jax. I took my Kids to swim lessons. I read to them. I bathed them. Yea, my house looks like I didnt do a thing all day. But really its a reminder of all the things I DID get to do. So moms, STOP beating yourself up. STOP mentally checking off all the things you didnt do. STOP thinking you are a failure. STOP thinking you arent good enough. STOP pretending. All our houses look like this. And our kids are better for it!
