...to me. Thank you. Thank you. I would like to accept this award on behalf of all the other Mom's out there that are not perfect at being a Mom and make mistakes just like I do.
This week has been a very emotional and trying week for me. My week started off by finding out Caleb had a Staph Infection again. He apparently got it from the daycare again. My boss has been up my butt about the auditors. Auditor up my butt wanting all the paperwork so we can finish with the audit. Then this morning I topped my week off just perfectly. I shut the house door going into the garage on Caleb's fingers. See I do deserve the M.O.T.Y (Mother of the Year) Award after all....not.
We were having a fine morning. No issues no problems. We are leaving the house and Caleb told me he would turn the light on in the garage. The switch he can reach just fine. So I said ok and started closing the door. At the same time I close the door, Caleb pushes the garage door button. For him to reach that, he has to hold onto the door frame to stable himself while he stands on his tiptoes to reach the button. Then, wham. I caught his fingers. Needless to say, I feel like sh*t. I am thankful that my company is understanding because I ended up late for work.
The other day I was just going through the emotion of feeling like I failed as a Mom. If I didn't work, Caleb wouldn't have a Staph Infection again or he wouldn't get hurt like he has twice now in the past month. Then, this morning happened.
I know realistically I don't fail as a Mom. Caleb is happy and healthy. I take immediate action when he gets hurt or doesn't feel good. I keep him well dressed and he is growing just fine. But there are times, I can't help but feel like I am a horrible Mom.
One day, I will be able to look back and laugh at all that I have been through. And realized it just made me a stronger and better Mom because I learn from my mistakes. In the meanwhile, I just have to suck it up, take one day at a time and realize sh*t happens.
