Supermom? uh not quite...

Struggling with feeling like a failure at night as you lay in bed?
I do!

I pour out to my husband constantly, "I need more patience"
Some days I am happy of the progress I made.
Other days I'm very sad that I regressed into a monster that yells way too much.

I struggle with thoughts of discipline.
I want to discipline but wonder what is worth the fight and what I can let fly.
I don't want to constantly be disciplining but I also know that consistency is key.

I think everyone will fail at being a parent at some point.
But this I know. I will always let my children know they are loved!
I will always hug, always kiss. and cuddle.
Always feed and bathe them.. and read them bedtime stories.
I will apologize when I act like a cranky pants but try my best not to get cranky with them.
I will always pour out to my husband because it keeps me accountable.
I will always try not to yell and I will always be sad when I do yell. Oh goodness I hate yelling.
I will never stop trying to be a better mom...




But Do they feel safe with me? Yes
Do they know I love them and do I show it with my actions? No doubt about it, YES!
Then, I've done the most important jobs.
I know there's more to it then that, but personally I've had two of my children in the hospital, those things are the jobs that matter most.
