I need to confess all the ways I have failed as a mom today. It is almost 11 at night here and I have not yet showered. I let my Son have Mcdonalds for lunch because he wanted a happy meal toy and then I bribed him with another toy I bought him to help me clean up the house. We did not play today and we did not learn anything. We have cleaned all day. I bossed both my kids around well past 8 pm and then I called my best friend to talk to her about how I hate cleaning, DEEP CLEANING. When I got off the phone I realized it was 8:30 so guess what I fed them for dinner. YUP! Mcdonalds! 2 times today! Then I got their sheets out of the dryer, made their beds, brushed their teeth, and let them watch t.v. until they fell asleep. And I played bingo on the computer until now. I started to make them go to bed without letting them watch tv but I read a news story about a 13 year old boy who was murdered last November and his body was just found. So I kissed them and turned on Spongebob (which I hate and rarely let them watch). It is summer. It was a long sucky day. We ate the worst, disgusting, food ever. They deserve some trash t.v. and tomorrow we will go to a baby shower and I will take them to the drive in to see Monsters U as a reward for my failure today as their mother. But I will not feel shame or guilt because at the end of it all they are alive, healthy, and happy and even if they are a little more spoiled, they are here with me. Somewhere else, another mom is not as lucky.
