I want to believe that I am a good mom. Not award winning or anything but I am working on that.
I have had a short fuse the last few weeks and haven't had the patience that I know my oldest deserves. Sad but true...
Instead of getting down on myself about what I could do differently I thought I would list out what I do right.
• I give great hugs
• I am the best tickle monster
• I love my children with my whole heart
• My kisses make everything better
• I give great foot rubs

for me:
1) i too love my kids with my whole heart
2) against odds i have nursed 3 babies for 13 mos ( a singleton and set of twins)
3)i would do anything in the world for my girls
4) i sacrifice many personal splurges and me time so that i can have more for them
5) i never sacrifice my children's safety for anything or anyone.
