Today Kate sat down next to me and said, "When I am a mom and have a baby I'm going to be a nice mom and let him play before he does his jobs. You are not a very nice mom. You need to be a better mom."
I had such grand plans for this summer. We were going to learn about fractions, American history, do jobs and reading every day. What was I thinking? My revised goals are to have the kids dressed and fed - and some days we are lacking in that.
Life with Guard is so unpredictable. Life with Gavin is so busy. Life with Enoch always keeps me on my toes. Life with Kate is emotional draining - good and bad. But it is my life and I love it (even if my kids don't!).

I remember saying to at least one of you children "I'm the meanest mom you've got!" I think it was my way of saying it before any of you did. It looks like Kate beat you to it. I think I was also saying that I know I seem mean, but someday you'll understand. I think all of my children are beginning to "understand." Kate will, too, someday! In the mean time, be the "mean mom" because that is the best way to be the "better mom." I love you! P.S. I had grand plans in the summer, too, and ended up with revised goals, too. If you want to see a list of goals accomplished, look at your children and look, too, at the list of goals for 2012 on the side of this blog and see how many of them are done! Wow!
