Carrie, your post is me every holiday/party/big event…OK, almost every day! I have four kids, and how do I not screw them up? I have no idea. I feel the same way, with school and their success. How can we teach the kids what we don’t have a hold of ourselves? I have missed school due dates and I even missed a preschool graduation years ago! The worst was this past January, I forgot to bring in class treats for my 11 year old daughter’s birthday!!! I felt awful, still do. I just can’t get passed it. These poor kids are suffering because of me. They really deserve a more put-together mom. Sometimes I am great, mom of the year, and sometimes I fail – big time. I can’t even tell you how many times the tooth fairy came a night or two late… and my poor husband…I too am drowning, what did you do to keep afloat?
