In my post yesterday I did not mention the 4 tantrums that exhausted my emotions. I did that deliberately because really, what's a day without some kind of parent-child mayhem.
I choose to mention it now because I wouldn't want anyone to think that I'm some super mom with perfect kids and flawless life experiences. I probably shouldn't even care about what anyone thinks. But I care here because as a new mom I found myself comparing my life to other moms. They seemed so put together and here I was, just trudging along and trying to figure it all out. I don't yet have "it" figured out. That day may never come. But I am desperately seeking to be myself and a decent parent at the same time.
So keep trudging on because the open secret is that nobody has it figured out. We're all just doing the best we can with what we know.
