Good Mommy

There are times when thinking of all the ways I've failed as a mom today are easier than coming up with the ways I've succeeded.  And tonight feels like one of them- should I have played more?  The day raced by,and I got things done but what about spending time with my kiddos.  So here is my list of what I did right as a mom today.

-I cheered, high fived, and thumbs-upped their accomplishments in the pool

-I made a lunch and dinner that was nutritious and "yummy"

-I had yummy snacks

-I brought hot chocolate to warm up with at the pool so they wouldn't be so cold coming out of the pool

-I ate pretend cakes and answered questions about my favorite ingredients to get it just right

-I let them jump in and out of the running stroller during my run

-I bought colored goldfish just for them

-I carried bikes to the backyard for them to play

-I kissed numerous owies

-I sat and read him a book he loves

-I gave hugs and kisses at bedtime

-My kids know I love them
