I feel like I was a good mom today. I got my kids to pick up the living room to an acceptable level. It was a good day that I didn't have to fight to get them to think about picking up. That I didn't have to listen to the whining about how tired (Michelle) they are or how BORING (Michelle) it is. Of course whatever Michelle does, Carolyn does too. She is like the mimic. How can someone not think for themselves yet? Oh wait, that's for when she's alone and has the strength to fight me to the death for a piece of candy.
I was a good mom today because I did not have to do the picking up myself and then threaten to take their toys away. "I am going to go get a trash bag right now and throw them all away!!" I say clenching my teeth. "Okay Mommy, thanks for cleaning up for us." says Michelle with no care for the loss of her Barbie dream house or shoes, clothes, etc.
I was a good Mom today because I turned the music on, "Turn on the rock music Mommy" they shout! It makes it more fun to clean. "Turn the timer on and let's see if we can get it finished before it beeps!" "Oh no, Mommy, start it again. We'll go faster this time!"
I was a good Mom today because I laughed while I watched my kids clean and have fun at the same time.
I was a good Mom today because I know that tomorrow is another day and God has a sense of humor.
