Holy cow! You ARE funny! I love the massage story cuz I was THERE! And just remembering the look of utter horror on your face as you came out is priceless! Sorry to take joy in your psycho-killer massage… Now I’ve depressed MYSELF.

Now this is funny. I looked it up while I was supposed to be teaching. I could only find the Spanish version.

It seems like you’re a little too hard on yourself. The fact that you care enough to beat yourself up over this ‘lapse’ in good parenting just proves that you ARE a good parent. Then again, I’m not a parent, so I have no idea what I’m talking about.

Silas is still a very clean little boy, sans bath or not.

I agree completely with Carrie. You know I don’t have kids, nor plan on having them, but if I did, you’d be the lady I came to for advice.

And Silas knows he is loved, loved, loved, LOVED!

Em,

You are working towards that beautiful self-image that the rest of us already see. It’s not anything on the outside (though you know how I feel about that!) – it’s who you are. Talented, funny (super funny), witty, sarcastic, smart (super smart), loving, forgiving (super forgiving), amazing, BEAUTIFUL! And I’m not just saying that because I read your blog and identified with everything you said. I am saying it because when I think of you that is what I think of. Love ya girl!

I’ve woken up and can’t get back to sleep. (That’s why I’m hear at five til three.) Thanks so, so much Carrie for your response. I often think that every other mom out there is doing it right and then here I am floundering around like an idiot. I think: “they should take my license away!” But, knowing that I’m not the only one who loves, loves, loves my baby but also struggles is a real gift. Thanks for the insight and the inspiration! (Silas doesn’t get a bath every night either…)

Emily I have nights like this ALL THE TIME. Sometimes I realize I’m just staring into space while Dora watches Dora the Explorer. Ugh. A friend of mine reminded me a while ago that working is a form of parenting, too – that by creating a better life for our kids we are being responsible good parents to them. It’s little consolation when we’re FBing while they eat their mac n cheese (yeah, I do it all the time) – but it helps a bit.

I think it is really, really hard to work all day and then be solo at night. I have this situation, too, every night except the occasional Friday night. We’re lucky if Dora gets a couple baths a week because I’m usually just to fried to do it. But – both of these kids are always going to know they are loved, loved, loved – even if every night isn’t a Norman Rockwell painting. And that’s doing pretty good in my book.

Thanks for the comments on my blog – I feel all this awesome creative energy swirling around us like the snow.
