Friday Five: A Good Mom

...1...

A GOOD MOM 

KNOWS EXACTLY WHO SHE IS:

You aren’t JUST a mom. You are much more than that. A good moms knows the important role that she has in her family’s life. Believe in who you are and who you are becoming.

A GOOD MOM 

HAS BAD DAYS: 

Those days that you sit in the chair, while utter chaos is happening, just waiting for the clock to hit bedtime. Those days that one thing happens after another and you think it’s a joke, that there are hidden cameras & microphones just waiting to punk you. Those days you just want to sit in a warm bath and never get out. Those days where you have no patience, disobedient children, screaming babies and a gigantic headache? — Good moms have bad days.

A GOOD MOM 

ISN’T PERFECT: 

Most important!  A good mom will make mistakes & there is nothing that you can do to stop it. A good mom will wonder “what in the world did I do wrong to have days like this!?" A good mom will be confused, frustrated, anxious and nervous. A good mom learns from her mistakes and tries to do better the next time. A good mom is only HUMAN.

A GOOD MOM 

HAS GOOD DAYS: 

Because not every day can possibly be a bad day. You then have those days where it feels as if all the stars have aligned because EVERYTHING just goes your way. You wake up before the kids and have breakfast made, a workout done and the dishes put away. You jump from one activity to another, everyone is sharing & getting along, everyone is happy, everyone is fed and everyone is dressed. Nap time lasts a little longer than usual, quiet time is actually quiet time, and you wish every day was that good. 

— Good moms have good days too.

A GOOD MOM 

IS READY FOR BED: 

A good mom doesn’t necessarily always have a ton of energy. In most cases, a good mom is exhausted. She spends her day doing so much for other people, she is ready to hit the hay at 7pm. Don't burst her bubble. She deserves it! It's a demanding job. No days off. No sick days. Work 24/7/365.
