Has YODA been here?

It's 1:34 on Sunday afternoon and I'm all full o' bourbon. It's been a long weekend. The Boy being away on vacation with his great aunt notwithstanding, I haven't won any mom of the year awards. At least, it doesn't seem so to me

As usual you need to cut yourself a little slack (and put the bourbon down and back away slowly!) :) You are a phenomenal mother. All any one would have to do is spend about a minute and a half watching you deal with your kids to see the truth of that. Despite baby girl's sometimes infuriating need to wear the shoes and go to the bathroom and talk on the cell phone, you seem to have a wellspring of patience with her and can always muster up a hug and a smile for her. Your daughter IS a gem. She is wise beyond her years, smart, funny, and yeah, sometimes startlingly like her mother. The latter making her sometimes a little too smart for her own good! And the boy is an eight year old boy, which means that he's going to be trying at the best of times, and these my friend, are not the best of times. But still you have so much patience with him and even though you feel drained of energy and emotion yourself, you are never lacking in love to give your children. You are a good mom, good friend, good daughter, good sister, good niece, all of

Ditto to what she said...and...

...that's the great thing about Time. The past is gone, the present is here. Make the best start you can muster tomorrow. Then the next day...do the same.

Cut yourself some slack. Give yourself some time.

This is all just a process--YOU are a process, a work in progress. So are we all. There are countless bits of myself that I'd like to redraw. I'm gonna work on it. 'Cept when I'm not...cause no one climbs a mountain by the straightest possible route.

You are loved by many. That counts for a lot.
