Being a Mother

The most important thing she’d learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one."

I read this today on one of the blogs I read. I was so impressed with the wording I had to write it down to remind myself.


Today was a day of acupuncture, grocery shopping, Yoga, cleaning house, doing laundry, making tacos for dinner and writing a budget. The kids went to their wonderful Grandparents after school and they helped them with their homework! It is amazing how much I was able to do while they were gone. And I know the kids love it because they get to show off their skills to them.

At bedtime their Dad read to M, and B and I played Site Words Bingo and did his index cards of site words. He is not a fan of reading so we have to turn everything into a game. Now Math he can knock your socks off. He can look at the board in the game of Sorry with his Dad, brother and I and he can roll a 12 and know exactly where he should land without counting. You have to see it to believe it but he does it all the time. I think I 've said this before in my blog too, but he walks around the house telling us what 8plus 10 is etc....and he loves to ask 25 times how long till we go somewhere and wants to know the SPECIFIC time so he can tell me how many hours till that number.

Tomorrow M tries out for his school play. He always likes to get a speaking part. He's such an entertainer.
