My hair is a mess, strands of my ponytail out and frizzy. I'm so terribly tired, physically a bit sick, and sore. My feet and fingernails are dirty, and I am pretty sure I smell.
Yet, I can sit here in this stolen moment (and it truly is practically just a moment) and know without a shadow of a doubt that I was one bad a$$ mother today. I rocked it hard from my rare 4:45 am wake-up call to the skipped nap to bedtime.
My kids got to see trains, jump in puddles, help bake super healthy veggie muffins, have a very long and physical music parade, read books, sing songs, help me tidy up our house, learn numbers, look at birds, play in a public fountain, get new Cars shoes that light up, and eat a decent meal outside. It was just a charmed day, despite the fatigue, constant rain, and slightly messy house. And I made it happen for them.
And everyday...heck, most days, won't be like this. But today, I declare that I was a really great mama, and that is a nice ego boost.
You go, Mama! That definitely sounds like a wonderful day for all of you!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive! Seriously. How do you have the energy for all that?! Or, should I ask, how many DDPs did it take!? ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow! How the heck are you still awake enough to even blog about this day? And the next time you say you're not a fun mama, I'm all over your a$$. You are SUPER MAMA!!
