- It's ok that I don't get every single crumb swept up off the floor at night.
- It's ok that I feel insanely overwhelmed while going to school myself and trying to manage a one year old at the same time.
- It's ok that I'm not a tooth pick, and that I don't dress like the women on Desparate Housewives everyday.
- It's ok that for right now I prefer the Drive Thru to a sit down meal.
It's all ok because I am still a loving mother and wife, who tries to give 100% of her heart to her family everyday. That is all that matters, not all the other superficial stuff. Who cares if I'm not super Mommy...I'm Jackson's mommy, and to me that's all I need to be!
Oh, why did this make me cry!? Thank you- you are right. It is so ok.

Have I really been away from your blog *THAT* long?!? He's already 1??? Don't know if you remember me or not, but I used to read your blog every day. Life has passed me by and I've found myself blogging lots...reading none! UGH! As a mother of 2 now, I must say that you are dead on with your contentment with being enough...even when you feel like you're in chaos. The laundry will still be there tomorrow. The beds needing made will still be there tomorrow. Your little man won't be little forever. Enjoy him! Glad I found my way back! :)
