Korynn and I were talking about this the other day after Glenn Beck said it and it is so true.
I don't consider myself a bad person. At least, people keep telling me I'm not a bad person. I try really hard to be a good mom. I love my kids. I want them to be happy. I worry constantly about whether or not I am damaging them psychologically. I really really try.
So, that's why when the kids climbed into my bed at 6:30 this morning and started wrestling I wondered if I was being tested or just punished. If I was being tested I think I failed. No one got beat (yet) so that's good, but I wonder if they will ever recover from the psychological damage inflicted after being told that they were going to have the worst day ever for waking me up.
If I am being punished, I wonder what for. Is it for spanking Mailee yesterday after she woke Brick up early from his nap. I think she totally deserved that.
If I am being tested, then why the constant tests? One of these days I am going to fail miserably and completely destroy the childrens' psyches and then I will really be punished, presumably by never being allowed to sleep again. In any case, I've already popped open a Dr. Pepper, cause you know, that's why mommy drinks.

It's sooo true! I crack open a pepsi and reach for the chocolate in an effort to deal with the day to day struggles of being a mother!
P.S. I found you through Korynn. Korynn and I used to work together years ago, and she sent me to read this post! I'm glad she did!
