it's not easy

Wow! It's not easy being a mom (but you already know that). I've been having those "I'm failing at being a mom. I'm failing my kids, I'm failing myself." You know what that's like, right? I've been yelling, impatient and upset. My 5 year old made my heart sink. The last 24 hours have been exhausting. I'm doing everything wrong, or am I? Maybe a nice deep breath and a prayer will help me fix this mess.

All I know is that we have to take a deep breath sometimes and know that all days can't be winners. We need to have confidence that we are good moms and that we are doing a great job. So I'm going to relax my shoulders, take a deep breath and go on with my day. I will try and have more patience and to think before I speak. One moment at a time today.......and breathe.

You are a great mom, don't be too hard on yourself. Life is tough, 3kids are even tougher. We all have those days but you are both great parents. I am rooting for you! As a fellow mother of 3, I can wholeheartedly empathize. Just take a deep breath, steal a few minutes, if you can....and keep going!!!

I have those days more than I would like to remind myself. But, I will exhale with you in confidence that our kids are lucky! Your a great mom! xo

I have 2 kids and I have those moments and days too. I needed to read this blog just to know that I a normal stressed out mom as well! But we all make it through and at the end of the day our kiddos are still so in love with us as we are in love with them. You are a great mommy, don't ever forget that!
