I once was the mom who couldn't believe someone could ever get frustrated or impatient with their child. I once was the mom who couldn't imagine not wanting to sit and play on the floor with my baby all day. I once was the mom who held tight to the wisdom passed on from the ages that "they will grow up in the blink of an eye" and tried to seize each moment of mommying. Now...now I am many things I wish I wasn't. I am not the mom I thought others should be or the mom I hoped to be.
I am the mom who checks her email when she could be playing dress-up. I am the mom who uses words carelessly and makes lots of peanut butter sandwiches and gets irritated by whining...
