Today is one of those days that was really draining. I tried to balance being a good mom, with doing what had to be done, so here is a list of things that made me a good mommy, and a bad mommy today.
Â
I’m a bad mom because I didn’t even know that my son’s tooth had a cavity until he came to me last night and showed me that it had abscesst.
Â
I’m a good mommy because I spent 2 hours trying to find a dentist at the last second, and went with him first thing this morning and held his hand while they pulled the tooth and drained the abscess.
Â
I’m a bad mommy because I was late to my four year old’s preschool graduation, and he was the only one there who’s mom wasn’t there supporting him.
Â
I’m a good mom because I did finally show up (after the before mentioned dentist appointment) and took lots of pictures and told him how proud I was.
Â
I’m a bad mom because I then had to rush both kids to a babysitter and drop them off with my older son’s mouth still bleeding.
Â
I’m a good mom because I called twice to check on him and make sure he was OK.
Â
And all of this so I could make it to Salt Lake on time to be a good wife and support my hubby with his Seth Godin conference he was helping to put on today. (more about that later)
Â
Most of all I’m a bad mom because I completely forgot to find a sub for carpool, and my daughter was sitting at the school waiting for someone to come and get her and I was in Salt Lake, not answering my phone.
Â
I guess all we can do is the best we can do, and try harder the next day. Over all I feel successful today, because it all got done.
