lately i have been being very hard on myself in the “good mom” department. i have been feeling, well, like a mediocre mom. and that’s okay, right? yeah, i know it is. and i think that every mom feels like that sometimes. or alot of the time. and if they say they don’t, they are lying ;)
i have learned that the trick of it all is to not try to live up to crazy expectations placed upon you by others . . the media, the books, the other moms, you know . . . them.
but mostly, i think it’s us. we need to try to ease up on the crazy expectations we place on ourselves.
but then last night, i saw this. and it was like much needed sigh of relief. a really good shake of my head, a huge smile, and a heart song that made me remember that there is not only one way to do it! not one specific thing that makes it right or wrong, good or bad. just different. so very different.
but also so much the same.
whew! i needed that ;) the two little ones in the first scene crack me up.
it comes out in april of 2010. i’m going to write it on my calendar! oooooohhh, i love babies.
