For One Day...

I wish that I could be the mom that has it all together.

The mom whose house is totally clean and picked up before she leaves the house in the morning.
The mom who is dressed and ready before her children wake up.
The mom whose children eat a well balanced breakfast,
are nicely dressed,
and are to church on time.

For one day,
I wish I could be the mom who has lunch and dinner planned before it's time to start making it.

Just for one day, I wish I could be the mom that others look at in admiration and wonder...

how does she do it?

Me too Ashley, me too. Scary thing is on the odd days I do have it together I am constantly thinking - WHAT/WHO DID I FORGET?

Ashley-I look to you with admiration and wonder! Your kids are always happy and you always have fun things going on in your house! And I am always wondering how you do it!

You don't have to do those things to be that kind of Mom! You ARE a great Mom, Ashley.. it's obvious when you look at your children and see how well you've raised them so far! I know this is coming from someone who isn't yet a Mom, but I just wanted to let you know from someone who has babysat your sweet kids! :)

When you stopped by my house the other day, I thought to myself, "She's dressed and looks nice, her kids are dressed and look nice, her daughter's hair is fixed cute...and that is not the case for me." So really, I think you have it more together than you realize.

And even if you don't, you're obviously doing a great job with your kids. We read about it often! :o)
