Some days....

I feel as if I give Gardner the utmost attention, catering to his every need before he even knows that he needs it, whatever it may be.

Other days, like today, I feel slack. Feeling unwell, I struggled to make it through today, much less excel in the tasks set before me. Gardner was a trooper, doing so well at playing at his own when Mommy needed to sit down and rest for a while. Thank goodness for those lovely times when he is content just to sit in my lap and let me read books to him....quiet time for both of us is good.

I know I cannot be Supermom, not just everyday, but at all. I'm human. There are some days when I feel as if I'm aspiring towards it, though. Then a day like today comes in with a slam and reminds me how mortal I am.

I guess every mom struggles with those fleeting feelings of inadequacy. There's always the push to be better tomorrow.

One thing I do know. No matter how rushed or rough our day may be, if I make time to sit down with him and read him a Bible story or sing him a song about Jesus, it's a "perfect" day. That is the highest priority, and it is something which won't be dethroned in this household no matter what may come our way.

The constants are what bring peace in the midst of chaos.....
