Every Mom knows that some days are cake. You think, "I'm good at this...I rock." Then other days - disaster. The disaster days are the days you are late (again) taking your kid to school because he moved as slow as molasses and refused to get in the car without his spiderman toy (which of course can not be found). And where are his shoes? You're also late because your baby just had a huge blowout in his diaper and managed to dump all the food off his highchair onto the floor. You pause to contemplate cleaning it up but that would make you even more late - and you can't bear to get any more of those looks from the teachers as you drop off your kid 20 minutes at school - so you keep moving. Oh, and of course, you arrive at school to drop off your kid late with your hair going in 17 different directions, no makeup, and did you remember to brush your teeth? Who knows. All you know is your tired and it's only the morning and it's going to be one of those days...
Well, yesterday was a good day. Everyone got off on time and smoothly. The "schedule" we pride ourselves in maintaining on those good days was actually maintained. There were no blowout diapers, no spills, no injuries, no tantrums or meltdowns, everyone was happy, dinner was on the table, the house was vacuumed and I was actually nice to my husband in the evening. Yes, I was pretty proud of myself. You know what that means? Today is another disaster day - oh yes, you know the good days, the days where you think you got this mom thing down pat, are only followed by yet another day of craziness, the kind of day where your life feels like a whirlwind and you wonder how you're going to survive the day.
