Not Good Enough



Ever have one of those times when you feel like, no matter how much you do, it still won't be good enough? Like, no matter how much time you spend getting breakfast ready, your kids will still have squashed banana in their fingers and cry because they can't see the sip cup two feet to their left. And it doesn't matter if you spend 99.9% of your time with your kids, includng time in the bathroom, trying to pour milk, and trying to eat your own breakfast, during the .1% of the time you are actually looking at something else your kids will find your husnabd's laptop computer, so carefully left on the back of the couch.

It doesn't matter how excited you were to go out to dinner with your family last night, your kids will spend the entire time screaming - no, really SCREAMING for no reason, or hiding under the table, or throwing rice at the people in the next booth, a middle aged couple on a date, obviously neither person with any desire for coming in close contact with a child under the age of seventeen regardless of how adorable they look. Yeah, no matter what I do, it's wrong and it makes things worse.

It was a horrible dinner. This is a horrible morning. And I'm pretty sure it's going to be a horrible day. I wish I could go back to bed and start over.

Interestingly enough, I spoke with both the kids & neither of them remember a thing about last night or anything else you mention in this blog. So perhaps, you'd just do best to erase it all from your memory too. That way, you can start fresh all over again tomorrow...or later today.
