Happy Mother's Day

There are times in my life since kids, when I have thought, "Geez, I am a terrible mom! Scott needs to start looking for a replacement that it better quailfied." Don't get me wrong, I love my kids and Scott and I don't really think that I am a bad mom, but you have those days. I had one this week and boy was it a doozy.

Well, it all started off at Walmart. Kylee was out of the cart and being a little silly and feeling too big for her britches. Well, she decided to wander off and I could not find her, the only thought that I had was, "I just lost my child in Walmart!! Who does that!!" I kept calling for her and she didn't answer or come running back. I didn't want to wander too far from where she was last with me, because what if she came back and I wasn't there. So I started to panic and the last thing that I wanted to do was go up to customer service and openly admit that I had lost my child!! I didn't want them to think that I was a bad parent! I was praying frantically and I wasn't getting an answer fast enough, so I decided to call Scott (I don't know how he would have helped, but I was desperate), as soon as the phone started to ring, I heard over the intercom, "If you have lost a child, they are up at the customer service desk!" RELIEF!! I hung up the phone and bee-lined it up there. As soon as I saw her, I lost it, tears were everywhere, and she was not phased one bit. She saw me and said, "Hi mommy!" I just hugged her, picked her up and left and tried not to make eye contact with anyone there. That was the worst moment of my life!! Then to top off my day, later on I was starting to make dinner and I had set Dylan on the couch, forgetting that he is skilled at rolling over, and he rolled right off the couch and landed with a THUD!! Needless to say he cried for awhile, but he is just fine.

Now I am not telling all of this to get pity, but to say I am so grateful to be a mom!! My life is full of suprises and is very eventful and I wouldn't trade it for anything!
