This isn't so much about Caitlyn's craziness but about me and being a mommy. Caitlyn is a very vibrant and outgoing little girl. She has her own opinions, and is very directed in what she wants and when she wants it. I hoped as a parent I would be the kind to encourage this and help her flourish as a little girl, and in the future into a beautiful young lady.
Unfortunately, lately I have not been a very good mommy at this. I find myself being very short and yelling more often than I would like to. It makes me not like myself very much. Today, Caitlyn left to go spend several days with her Uncle Phillip, Aunt Melony (Melanie) and Cousin- Madison and I find myself missing her very much. I love her with all my heart and am angry at myself for letting myself get out of control this way. My goal is to try and be a better mom, wife and friend.
I think because you have recognized this you are already a better person, mommy, wife, and friend. Alot of us moms are to busy to stop to recognize our faults and how it affects the home. We get so caught up in routine and staying on top of things and not falling behind that the small things are actually what makes the big affect.
ReplyDeleteI for one think you are an amazing person. I am so encouraged every time I am around you.
