As a parent and a person, we often try sooo hard to have our crap together. Many of us fake it, hide it, put up a facade from time to time. But really, deep down, I think we all know that sometimes we have to just be okay with certain, uh...shortcomings, shall we say. Because, in the grand scheme of life, it really is OKAY.....
....that I let the kids eat about 10 ritz crackers and a cup full of popcorn and called it dinner because I have lots of homework to do and the husband just got called out....
...that Hunter peed her bed about 4 days ago and I haven't washed the sheets yet because I smelled them and they didn't smell "THAT" bad yet.
...that my kids rode their bikes in the neighborhood, in their underwear, because they're 4. And frankly I was too tired to put clothes on them.
...that I let Ethan wear his underwear backwards because again, he's 4. And I think his baby thong is kinda funny.
...that I told the kids we were out of fruit snacks. Because I really wanted the last 2.
...that I enjoyed watching Hunter and Ethan sit knee to knee, staring at one another as punishment until they agreed to say sorry and I love you. :)
....that I just washed the same load of laundry AGAIN so I wouldn't have to fold the laundry in the dryer. Yet.
...that I skipped a few pages in the middle of the book we read tonight because I really needed to get other stuff done. :)
And that's a wrap for this edition of "It's Okay Thursday!"

That was the one the best blogs ever. Hearing that other moms have the same 'shortcomings' I do, makes me feel like Im doing a good job too.
