Me, obsessed?

Is it JUST me or do you think about a certain something often - very often.  I used to think I was just overly critical of myself but it seems most mom's think often about being a good mom, often. 

It's like this - my kiddos will be wild & crazy at a store....at the moment, I want to run & tackle them, read them their rights & drag them out of the store.  Instead, I call them with that "I want to scream at you but I'm in a public place" voice....you know the one.  And it's like they know you can't lay into them because (again) you're in a public place.

Then I think later - what was I doing?  Did I really need to react?  Was I too hard on them?  Do I ask too much of them?  Am I too demanding?  On & on.....the obsessive part!

Drives me crazy - my kids will say "I'm sorry Mom."  I try to explain that I don't really want the 'I'm sorry' & I prefer the listening ears, listening children.  As much as they drive me crazy, I look forward to our pre-bed snuggle. 

In the end, just love 'em - they drive you absolutely crazy....they are our kiddos.

Does this drive YOU crazy or obsessed?  Or, what's your obsession?

About Me

My photo
I am a wife, a mom, a daughter & friend trying to journey the best path in life. My goals are: Great wife, Fabulous mom, and Good community member. I am overly critical and hard on myself. I am fearful (like everyone else) & do my best to show strength. I am striving to be stronger, kinder & more understanding in my day-to-day life. I love my husband completely & love being on "our team" together. Another goal...get closer to God (or whatever you want to call him/her). I want stronger faith in my life & I have people who are inspiring me in that area.
