Being a mom is hard.
Today was one of those days... the kind you want to erase from your kids' memories but just know this is the one they are going to be replaying for the rest of their lives when they think back on their childhood. Ugh. Sigh. Sniff.
I was happily reunited with a dear friend this evening after tucking the kids in bed. She's the friend who always puts things into perspective for me. It seems all moms have the same hope at the end of the day--- that the kids will remember all the fun we tried to provide for them, and forget about all the impatience we had while trying to make that fun happen.
I'm grateful for friends, cake, and the great promise of tomorrow and that it can be better than today. :)
We've really had a great summer. I can't complain. I've certainly been my less than best self these last several weeks being pregnant. I'm tired all the time, run low on patience, but if I can muscle through the exhaustion, good things still manage to happen.
