Extra Monday

Ok ladies – here’s to being accountable for what I say (and write) ! Friday I had one moment in my day that was bad.  ONE MOMENT that ruined the whold day. Completely obsessed with myself and my feelings I realized that I had been home at least 10 minutes with my son talking to me and I had not heard one word.  So, I reminded myself of Friday’s blog and immediately engaged in the conversation.  Of course he was in his “Robin William’s” mood and kept joking about how he didn’t have enough money for lunch and other money related issues.  I warned him that I was not up to his jousting but he continued. I began to cry, I don’t know why and I couldn’t help it. He didn’t know what to do and as we both tried to re-focus and back track I realized I was late for a meeting. A parenting class no less !!  Man, sometimes I just can’t keep it all together and be mother of the year !

PS – If I went forward in a church service for prayer right now I would sound like Friday’s woman.  I would ramble on and on and not even know what to get prayer for……….

My grandmother used to can vegetables for her family.  My mom used to bake home-made cookies.  I sometimes let the kids choose which drive-thru we go to.  The circle of love continues.  Mary Ellen Lowe
