Life

I am just waiting for my little angel to wake up. This Springing forward is for the birds. All the kids woke up in a bad mood today. As some of you read my blog, My mom Deanne commented on it. Well she e-mailed me about my blog that I wrote about things happening for a reason. I put that as a comment, anyway, I e-mailed her back. She was saying how she was sorry for not being the best mom. She worked full time. I thought to myself, how many of us feel like we aren't the best mom? I am sure that we all have our days. The important thing is, is that we all do out best. We don't all parent alike, and I am sure that my kids are going to grow up and say to me why didn't you let us do anything? why did we always have to do chores? When I think of the things that they might say to me I have to laugh. My mom Deanne worked so we could have insurance. My dad is a painter, and has been for about 3o some odd years, but the person that he works for doesn't offer insurance. I just want my mom to know that I know that every one has different situations, and lucky for us we weren't home alone we had our grandma. I know that my parents did the best they could. I am sure that we all would have changed a few things, but that is what has helped me with my kids. I am always with my kids, it's kind of sick, but I feel like the time will come soon enough where it's just me and Josh. So our kids go everywhere we do. I am lucky to be a stay at home mom. I love being home with my kids. My kids always come first. I just know that with the way the world is going they have a better chance of facing it with having me home. I am grateful for my parents, and I don't judge them because I do things differently than they did. I know that I could have had it way worse. I know I was loved, and we never went with out.

We all do the best we can. When I think about how messed up my childhood sometimes was, it just makes me want to do better for my kids. Isn't that the best thing that can come of it?
My parents did the best they could, and I'm trying to do my best too, and hopefully it gets better with every generation.

First of all, I am LOVING this extra hour of daylight. Give the kids a few more days and they will be adjusted to it. Secondly, we DO just do the best we know how. It has been said many times before that there is no parenting manual that comes when you have a kid. Each kid would, of course, need their own because they are all so different. So, what do we do? We pray a lot and do the best we can. You know that and are doing that. Both my parents worked growing up and that is all I knew but we had great weekends and we knew we were loved.
