Let me preface this with saying I know I'm a good mom. I struggled for a year with post partum depression and with a lot of encouragement and eye opening I realized that I'm a damn good mom. I love my son more than everything on this planet combined and I'd literally give my life for him without a thought....but sometimes I'm not the best mom I know I can be. I mean we all have weaknesses and strengths. While my son is always loved and his basic needs are always met and then some, I have bad days. And here are some of my confessions from those bad days.
-Sometimes I wonder why in the world I EVER thought 2 babies would be a good idea.
-Sometimes cartoons are the only thing on the TV all day long.
-My son called our dog a dirty bastard the other day because I was watching a movie where the character said that.
-Sometimes all my son eats all day long are pancakes, cheese sticks, and fruit bites b/c I don't push hard enough for him to eat something else. He eats so little that I'm just glad he's eating.
-Sometimes I wonder how in the world I will ever love this little girl on the way as much as I love her brother.
-I look forward to nap time all day long. Not b/c I get stuff done but b/c I can take a 2 hour nap too!
-Dawson stays up way late b/c he'll sleep in if he does and I sure do enjoy that.
-I am NOT looking forward to sleepless nights again...at all.
-Sometimes my husband irritates me so badly that I wish he'd just leave and come back in about 3 days.
-I could never ever leave my son for a kid free vacation....but I totally envy my friends that do.
-My son refuses to spend the night with his grandparents now b/c he's incredibly attached to me....I wish that he would get over it and just stay one night every once in a while.
-I secretly LOVE the fact that I'm his favorite person and everyone knows it.
-I seriously miss the days when I could pee, bathe, eat, etc etc etc by myself.
-I actually enjoy new episodes of Handy Manny and Bubble Guppies...until I've watched them 20 times.
-I think it's hilarious when D tortures the dog aka loves on him
-Sometimes I want to throw away all the noisy toys and act like I have no idea what happened to them
-Sometimes I take 2 showers a day when my husband is home just so I can get 10 minutes to myself

Lol! I go through this same thing with Adria. i'm so glad to see her eating ANYTHING that sometimes I don't even care what it is!
Love, love, love this post! I had a bad mommy moment over the weekend. I felt as if I were the worst mother in the world. Good to hear that I am not alone!
