not my favorite lo... but the journaling is the important part :) TFL...!!! - K

Journaling reads:

I am not an all-star mom. I am not Martha Stewart. I am no where near being June Cleaver. You have gone to school in wrinkled (yet clean) clothes. I’ve opted to give you dry cereal in a bag to eat on the road to school, instead of fixing you an actual breakfast. If I make dinner, the dishes get done the next day, or go into the dishwasher the day after. I make your lunch fifteen minutes before we leave in the morning. You have gone without a bath for a day. You have had a wet-wipe bath before school. You have gone well-past your allotted time for a hair cut. You have had to wear a dirty diaper a little longer because I forgot to bring extras. You have scrapes, scratches, and bruises, along with dirty fingernails that are entirely too long.

BUT…

A day has never gone by when I haven’t told you I loved you at least a million times. I have never disciplined you without feeling horrible about having done it five seconds later. You have never lacked anything you needed. Your car seat is littered with cereal crumbs because I let you sleep in. If the dishes have gone undone it’s because I spent time playing with you in the bathtub instead. You have endured cold wet-wipe baths because we stayed out too late so that you could spend more time with Nana and Papa. You have laughed everyday of your life thus far.

So I ask you, when you look back at your childhood, will you regret that I wasn’t a perfect mom? Or will you treasure the fact that I took the time to laugh and play with you? My hope is that you will see that the things I let fall by the wayside are those that aren’t important in the grand scheme of things anyway. I love you. {June 2006}
