Your words are so beautiful. You are definitely the right mommy to four beautiful children. And your shared experiences help other mommies get the motherhood thing right too. Love and hugs to you!

This post is so beautifully written. I will echo the others and say that I’m glad you found time to post. I really needed this. My 17 month old landed in the ER for stitches over the weekend and I am blaming myself over and over again for not being able to prevent his fall. I get this way sometimes where I over-analyze all the ways I’ve messed up and I don’t stop and give myself the pat on the back for the things I’ve done right. I love my son so much that I don’t want to be anything less than the perfect Mom to him (which I know is impossible).

Mother Teresa once said, “I know God won’t give me more than I can handle. I just wish that He wouldn’t trust me so much.” I’ve often repeated recently!

I love you my friend. This was beautiful. And I intend to share your sentiment with my mom, who could use those words of encouragement these days.

You know what Darcie, I have missed you and your blogs. They don’t come as often but when they do, they hit like a ton of bricks. Straight on. You say what every other person thinks and can’t put on paper or sometimes can’t put the right words together. God Bless You….and the love you have for your family and friends. Happy Mother’s Day – to a wonderful woman. And thank you for putting on paper what most of us only say to ourselves. And you know what, I agree with Jayce, You are “THE RIGHT MOMMY” Have a wonderful Mothers Day
