Being a Mommy

Some nights I am overwhelmed by the rush of emotions I feel for my son. Putting him to bed tonight and we have this ritual where I lay down next to him, snuggle under his blanket and he wraps his arm around my neck and falls asleep. We are face to face usually and I can see that sparkle in his eye and he always has this huge amazing smile on his face like he is the happiest little boy on the earth. I love seeing that! It makes me feel so wonderful to know that he is happy and content while falling asleep. I never in my life imagined I could love someone so much. I know most parents feel that way and it is really nothing new but somedays when I am exhausted, frustrated and feel like the worst parent on this earth because I just need a break, I forget to remember this! As parents we beat ourselves up alot about the things that we don't do perfectly that we forget to feel good about the things we do right. I am a good mommy and I need to remind myself of that more often than I do. I hope the rest of the good mommies in the world remember that!
