~nice shiner Miss Bruiser...nice shiner!
somedays
i just don't feel
like i deserve
motherhood.
like i'm not good enough
at it.
or good enough for my babes.
somedays
i don't feel like
anything goes right...
that i do anything right...
that i missed a mom-memo
about how things should go.
somedays your baby girl
falls face first into a
ledge.
screams bloody murder
for 4 minutes.
has a goose-y egg that blows up
right before your eyes
and is left looking like
BRUISER
instead of Miss Sassafrass.
and then you are just happy that
someday
is today and not earlier last week
before her 1st birthday party.
or tuesday...as in 1st birthday picture day.
somedays you are thankful that
it's this someday and not that someday.
somedays you fall from
the same {stupid} ledge
into "mount everitt" of laundry
needing to be folded
and twist your ankle.
and just cry about it.
because it feels right.
somedays you just
feel like a nut
somedays you don't.
no one said
motherhood
was glamorous.
and glamorous - it is not!
the proof is that i'm wearing a
pair of yoga workout sweats circa
2001 and a fleece circa
pregnancy of 2006 and 2007 .
hotttttt.

ohh... poor baby. Been there, done that. Breaks your heart as a mama, but just know that most days are better than those "somedays." Cheer up... it's almost Christmas!!
Oh Meg, I feel like I miss the mom-meno ALL the time. Poor girl. Poor mommy. Don't beat yourself up for it.
