As it stands, I had quite a day of reflection yesterday, Yom Kippur. You can read ALL about my reflections on “Motherhood and Myself” at Canada Moms Blog, and ALL about my reflections on Rascal’s hideous new jacket — care of Josh-O — at the bTrendie blog.
Don’t let the Canada Moms Blog reflections scare you, though. I’m feeling much better today about things. Maybe because Monkey’s been saying “I love you, Mama” over and over again all morning — did she read my blog? Today’s definitely a new day.
Love!

I think you summed everything up when you said that you’ve always felt that you sucked. I don’t know what went on in your life at such a young age to give you this impression…but I really think that you need to figure that out.
Realize that everyone is different and that no one expects you to do it their way (no matter how often they tell you what to do.)
I really think that the entire purpose of our life is to figure out what works best for us and do that. Like the saying “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.”
Shalom!

Is that jacket really that ugly? Because on the picture it looks ok
As for your reflections on Canada moms, I have to agree that you’re great and doing your best! I don’t know much about motherhood, not having experienced it for real yet, but I’m sure that’s all that matters! Whatever your flaws, you are aware of them and work on becoming a better person every day… That’s pretty good no? And Monkey says it best, she LOOOOOVES her mommy!!!!!!

I wish I was your neighbour so we could sit and reflect and encourage each other daily; my boys are 3 & almost 6 and they sound exactly the same…I am assured it does get easier but we are not there yet, when they’re both in school full time maybe?
