Having children is a lot of work, raising them to be moral, upstanding citizens who call their mother is even harder! Here's a few of my favorite things to remember about parenting.
5. Socks don't always have to match. So one is a little shorter or has a different pattern on the toe, will that really keep them out of an Ivy League college someday? I think not.
4. Screen your calls when the school wants volunteers to work concession stand or sell for a fundraiser. You can still be a good mom without being "that" mom.
3. If your child occasionally falls asleep in their clothes it is ok. Nobody sees those cute jammies but you anyway.
2. Sometimes "average" grades are good enough...hardest one for me but if I have a great kid in every other way, a C in math is not that big of a deal. Besides, in twenty years who will remember (or care) what grades you got in 6th grade anyway!
1. Even if you feel like you don't have a clue what you are doing with your kids, God knows EXACTLY what He is doing! He will help you through it and for that I am thankful!
