Really?!?

Ok, so is this something I really need to do? Create a blog? Well, apparently I thought so!  I work very part time subbing in our schools as an educational assistant, but for the most part I am a homemaker, wife & mom. I love my family and the job of running it...some days more than others, but that goes with all jobs! There are days when I fly through the day completing task after task, taking my job to the "Masters Degree or PhD" level. Other days, I feel like I am new on the job and stumble through the day, one mishap after another. I have given myself the title of MOTY, which stands for Mother Of The Year! Partly because, like all moms, there are days when I am on the "Gold Medal" podium of parenting.  Standing there holding up my gold medal proving how great I am, hearing my "Mom anthem" being played loud & proud. Then there are the days when I don't make the podium at all. You know, the days when you trip walking up to clean the podium for somebody else to stand on...  The title is for those days, when I fall miserably short of taking the gold!  It is easy to be proud of the times we excel at parenting, bragging about our amazing accomplishments (as if growing a human is not enough). However, it is not so easy to fess up and admit when we bomb in the parenting department! That being said, I completely love my MOTY title and take pride in owning it. Well, the laundry piled on the floors, crumbs on the counters, dishes in the sink and dirty floors are calling... Time to address some demands of the day before the real crazy comes with after school running!
