Do you ever feel that you just aren't making the cut as a mom? Sometimes, I love my children so much that I think I am not nearly good enough to be their mommy. I honestly can tell you that I try my best, but I am soooooo..........sooooooo......not perfect. I feel like they deserve the best mom in the world.

What if I am smothering them? What if I am not telling them enough, how much they are loved? Am I messing up my children? Have they had enough water today? (thanks, fellow blogger Nick Elisano, for driving that point home) Maybe I should let them be more independent. Maybe, I shouldn't have had them vaccinated. Maybe, I should read to them more. Maybe........I should just relax.

Sometimes, Mr. 1 year old has had enough of my kisses and hugs and just wants to explore. Sometimes, Mr. 5 year old is just exhausting because he asks question after question about the most zany topics.

How do you just let go and be confident with your parenting skills? Usually, I am very secure with my parenting technique. Maybe I am just having an off day? Maybe, today is one of those days that is spent over analyzing everything. Maybe, (again) I just need to relax.

I think I just need to take a "chill pill" (ohhhh, I haven't said that in forever). My 5 year old just brought me a flower (it really is a weed) with a huge smile and announced that he loved me. Maybe......I am doing just fine!!!!
