A Boost for YOUR self esteem

Just in case you were feeling down about your less than perfect attempt at mothering, take a look what it could be like. Thankfully, Ed isn't digging his bumbo seat and it's nothing personal against me, but the catch is in the pic of Chuck and Dot. Don't they look sweet and happy? That's because it's 10:58am and I'm depressed because it's snowing outside again, so I let them (ok, made them, so I don't have to listen to the whining) turn the tv on. That bowl that Dot is holding... was full of popcorn 5 minutes ago. I know, brain numbing and fattening at the same time!! I'm such a good mom.

That sounds like my kind of parenting. Tessa decided to go out and play in the snow so she got all bundled up and came back 20 mins later looking for hot chocolate! I think she really just wanted me to make her hot chocolate and knows this is the only way to get it :)

I think we all have moments where we put our kids in front of a movie or 3-4 tv shows just to get a break. I figure we keep them running around constantly doing things so that they are making good use of their time.
I know I want to just sit and veg once in a while and figure they probably do too. That is how I reassure myself that it's okay!
Love you! Hang in there!
