Today was NOT a good mom day. Don’t worry. I don’t hold myself up to unrealistic high expectations. I have set rather low expectations. But, I think I fell even below my low expectations.
You know, if you have very little patience BEFORE you have a kid, I’m pretty sure that I don’t magically get patience AFTER having a kid. Especially since that kid is now a toddler. And that toddler knows how to bring out the bad-ass whining toddler in me.
No worries. I did not beat my child. But, I’m feeling defeated because I have the most lovely, energetic, loving, expressive (of all emotions) funny toddler and I did not see the joy in that today. That feels like crap.
Tomorrow has to be better. I only saw one episode of NURSE JACKIE on Showtime, but I’m stealing her tagline, “God, Make me good”. Of course, she said, “But not yet”, too. I’m just asking for a little grace so that I can feel the good that is right in front of me.
