Maybe I Shouldn't...

Maybe it isn't the best idea to let my toddler play with batteries.

It's probably not smart to let him eat sour cream for dinner.

I let him play on the computer for more than an hour today (ok closer to two hours but it was PBS. PBS!!).

Shouldn't I be old enough to stop biting my nails?

I definitely could be more frugal. Did I need six more t-shirts and a new dress? [always!]

This is the kind of mental dialogue I have everyday. It sucks to be constantly scolding myself, so here's a list of recent accomplishments.

I got myself off anti-depressants.

I didn't drink a sip of alcohol for the entire month of June.

I am a rock-n-roll mother.

I've been kinder and more accepting of my husband's quirks.

I helped my grandmother with her eyes, even giving her (ugh) eyedrops.

My husband gave me a hideous necklace but I wore it anyway to be kind.

Twice this week I've left the house without makeup or even curling my eyelashes.

There. That feels much better.
