Today is November 1st.
Today marks 24 days until Thanksgiving.
Today I'll share one thing I'm grateful for...
You should too, it's rather empowering. Watch.
Today I am grateful for MomGuilt.
No, really, I am.
On nights like tonight, where The Monkey whined for three hours straight through, stopping only twice to breathe...
On nights like tonight where Mr. Man quite literally laid down on the kitchen floor and mulishly refused to do his homework...
On nights like tonight when The Biz was trying desperately to fill the 'good child' void and overcompensating to a frustrating degree...
On nights when I lose my temper so badly I have to lock mySELF in the bathroom for a timeout left I end up on the 11 o'clock news in my bathrobe and monkey slippers... On nights when I have tucked everyone in, snapped my goodnights too quickly, stormed down the steps too harshly, plopped myself on the couch too happily, and felt the ooze of MomGuilt seept in around the cracks and settle around my bones...
I am still grateful.
I am grateful for each whiny, needy, annoyingly wonderful amazing Munchkin in my life. Even when I am wracked with guilt over the duties, trials and tribulation that the moniker bestows, being a Mom is still the best thing I have ever done. They are the best thing I've ever done.
I am grateful for MomGuilt.
It reminds me, simply, that I am a Mom.
