I need to remember THESE days when I'm having one of THOSE days

You know when you are having 'one of those days'
The kinda days that just start out like that
The kinda days that you wish that wine was a breakfast food
The kinda day that you put yourself in time-out because you need it more then the kids
The kinda day that no matter how busy you are nothing gets done
The kinda days where whining, "NO!" & "Momma, go away" are the soundtrack
The kinda days where you reheat your tea 3 times before you get to it just to have little hands spill it
The kinda days where you have spit-up down your back and it is the least of your worries
The kinda days where you know you love them, but you don't actually like your kid(s)
The kinda days where you feel like an epic failure as a mother because of this

On days like that I need to remember days like these
The kinda days that start out with little smiles and "Good morning, Momma"
The kinda days where I get to watch my boys hold hands as they have their morning milk
The kinda days where there are not one, not two but three pees on the potty
The kinda days where laughter, "Hi, Momma" & "I loo you" are the soundtrack
The kinda days where you read books in the rocking chair and get kisses before nap time
The kinda days where you hang out under the table (in the fort) and talk about the colour of sprinkles you find on the floor
The kinda days where you wonder how you got so lucky that these little souls picked you to be there Momma and are so grateful for that

Thankfully there are more of these days then those days. Unfortunately, those days always seem to be bigger, more monumental and ultimately more indicative of the mother that you are.

Cheers to These Days! (and remembering them even on those days)
