I never thought I would be

...that crazy mom who runs around town in work out clothes.
or the mom who sends her kids to school with sticky-up hair.
or the mom who holds up check-out lines in wal-mart all for the sake of one measly coupon.
or the mom who lets her kids sleep in her bedroom. every.single.night.
or the mom who snaps at her kids in the store.
or the mom who puts her kid in joyschool.
or the mom who leaves her baby in the car....and just happens to be parked in the spot farthest away from the door....and doesn't even realize she doesn't have her baby until her hubby {inside the movie theater} mouths the words: "where's sam?"
or the mom who {maybe} says swear words.
or the mom who makes cereal for dinner.

no, i never thought i would be that mom.

but i am.
and it feels so good.

i'm not perfect.
i don't accomplish big projects on a daily basis.
or a weekly basis for that matter.
but i'm doing the gosh darn best that i can.

my kids wear hand-me-downs.
they pick their noses
bite their nails
wipe their face on their shirts
and say potty words.
{and it's so funny when they do}
they probably watch too much tv
play too many video games
and get away with more than i ever did

but that is how we do things
every.day.
and it feels so good.

we play.
we laugh.
we tease.
we "get fwustwated"
we tickle.
we giggle.
we throw.
we catch.
we jump.
we run.

I never thought life could be so good.
right now. today.
it feels so good.
