You can have the best laid plans and somehow something happens to disrupt them. Combine that with work and... well, chaos can erupt!<br /><br />There were days when my kids were young where things were so awful that I would send everyone to their rooms (including me) and "restart" the day hoping for a better outcome (kind of like rebooting the computer). This often gave us the time to get a more positive mental outlook on everything and allowed us to move on and not be bogged down by what had gone wrong.<br /><br />You are cut out for the mom stuff - just in your own unique way.wildknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07512372230592596889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-41013661750680743202010-09-12T00:26:43.187+02:002010-09-12T00:26:43.187+02:00Oh, I have sooooo been there!

I think all too often moms feel that we can't say we don't feel like we are doing what we should and that we are stressed. I say these things to others and they look at me like I am nuts because I don't have my home live organized and often feel overwhelmed with motherhood. Remember we do the best we can and our kids will be fine in the end.Coach Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110749177657676900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-76780294012989950752010-09-10T04:04:34.671+02:002010-09-10T04:04:34.671+02:00Oh SLG, I love that you posted this.

Right? <br /><br />What a rough day. <br /><br />If it makes you feel any better: <br />1) I have been known to steal toilet paper to take home from work b/c we are that desparately out of it and I have no time to go to the store; <br />2) On my runs, I do not think of crafts or dinner, but instead daydream of all of these amazing races I'm going to sign up and accomplish, like marathons and such, never mind that my longest runs usually top out at about 30 minutes of "light" jogging these days. ; )Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06582340182176367822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-30283958360637054102010-09-09T17:27:55.519+02:002010-09-09T17:27:55.519+02:00That's still a better day than 99% of mine.

Had I had the day you had, I would have thrown in the towel and gone to McDonald's. I too feel slightly bad about laughing, but every paragraph just seemed to add to the comedy of errors which was your day. Try not to get too down on yourself; everyone has days when absolutely nothing seems to go right. I don't believe for a second that you are not a good mom or that you don't care about your kids. <br />I'll have to put a post up on my blog about one of my breakdown days. I have them often enough, the opportunity should present itself shortly. :)Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14137207492303218465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-20592384724818549972010-09-09T06:39:44.473+02:002010-09-09T06:39:44.473+02:00A couple of points:

Or kid things, which are much more random.<br /><br />2) But you've really got two disparate, full-time jobs. When I both worked outside the home and had a baby (who was much easier to manager), I was running around like a headless chicken most of the time. I work from home now, and it would be so much harder if had to go in.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639309578283562929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-91072592390654275292010-09-09T02:40:12.304+02:002010-09-09T02:40:12.304+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-57203777937253077592010-09-09T01:51:05.673+02:002010-09-09T01:51:05.673+02:00Oh SLG, is it bad that I'm laughing?

It's soooo normal and yet we're only able to say it's normal when we look at other people's lives. When we look at our own we only critique. You're awesome. Live and learn. Or if you don't learn, just live. :)Abbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709207120243840223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-15915544031387786482010-09-09T01:02:54.836+02:002010-09-09T01:02:54.836+02:00I meant Nutella NOT on bread.I meant Nutella NOT on bread.mmmonykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703551248084847150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-54571041936626876282010-09-09T01:00:37.337+02:002010-09-09T01:00:37.337+02:00"Does reading about other peoples' lives ..."Does reading about other peoples' lives in shambles make you feel better about your own life?
