A little about yourself...

If you were a fly on the wall at my house, you'd be sure to hear your share of fussing, complaining and whining. Maybe even a slammed door or two.
But enough about me.
In the pressure cooker that's parenting, I have exploded more than once. And it's harder to clean up than spaghetti night with a toddler.
So after years spent indulging in fruitless self-flogging, I finally let go of my obsession with getting it all 'just right.' I confess...I'm not a perfect parent.
Whew. That felt good.
Now, when my son saunters in with his 42nd tardy of the school year, I let it go. When I hear myself hollering "That's not fair!" at my adolescent daughter, I move on.
Having it all together is overrated anyway.
And I've determined not to waste God's grace. I'll never get it just right. You won't, either. I hope it helps to know that you're not alone. Nope. If you're a mom, face it. You're never, ever alone.
