It all started today when I was getting ready to leave work. I was talking to one of my "bestest" teacher buddies and I told her I really felt like I was forgetting something.... and guess what??? I was!!!!
Once I made it to the babysitter's house to pick up Shallen and Jorja, my sitter explained to me that I just missed a phone call. Makenna was at the school waiting for me to come to her 3 way conference!!! OH NO! Not only was I late for the conference but that meant that Rhiannon would be arriving home on the bus all alone and unable to get into the house!!!!
Needless to say, I threw the little ones in the van, picked up Makenna from school (rescheduled the conference) and raced home. Of course, I could not get ahold of Mike who was only about a mile away from home working in a metal shop where his cellphone doesn't work! When we drove into the yard, there was Rhiannon driving the Barbie Jeep around with a VERY grumpy look on her face... that "you are in big trouble momma" face. So in the end, not only was Makenna upset that I forgot her 3 way conference but Rhiannon was ticked that she was all alone and unable to get into the house! BAD MOMMA!!!
While I am on the BAD MOMMA topic I am pretty sure I can come up with some more! ;)
The girls had dance competition in Prince Albert this weekend. Makenna came home with 3 medals: a bronze for her jazz duet, and two silvers, one for her ballet group dance and one for her Jazz group dance. Rhiannon came home with a gold medal for a Jazz duet. All in all, we had a great time... however, BAD MOMMY did not take a single picture!
BAD MOMMY sets a BAD example... As most of you know I am trying to get healthier and lose some of the pounds my kids have packed on me... (and yes, I am a bad mommy because I am blaming my kids for my fat and laziness!)
....every single day I feel like giving up. Each day I have to motivate myself to continue. It would be soooo easy to just give up and eat what I want and get fat.... seriously... they make bigger clothes for a reason! Then I remember that I want to show my girls how to make healthy choices and how to have healthy lives. (but that is such a balancing act since I have a poor self concept when it comes to weight) I Don't want to pass that on to my girls ... but I am not sure how not too... they see me struggle with my weight... they know I am always dieting... I say things like... "eat healthy girls or you will become fat like your mom" I know those are bad things to say but they just pop out of my mouth.... BAD MOMMY!!!!
Can anyone explain how come it takes 3 weeks to lose 2.5lbs but in one weekend I can easily put on that 2.5lbs??? SOOOO frustrating!!!!
So there you go... BAD MOMMY DAY in a nut shell!!!
Until I blog again..... BAD MOMMIES UNITE! (where can I find a blinkie for that??? LOL)

ReplyDeleteThis might make you feel better:
ReplyDeleteI used to take G to a moms' group when she was a baby. 7 years later, I am STILL remembered as "the mom who let her baby fall off the bed twice in one week". I had moms come up and tell me that they felt so much better when they heard me talk about all the mistakes I made on a weekly basis.... I lowered the bar for a lot of new moms!! (And I'm still doing it today!)
At least you lost 2,5 lbs in three weeks. I lost .2 for 3 weeks in a row after staying the same for the week before that. FRUSTRATING! Just keep at it. One day you'll notice that the pants are looser and that you have more energy and it will all be worth it.
ReplyDeleteWell I don't know Denise, honestly you are one of the best mothers I know, and I know that when I have kids I'll be asking you for advice. I think you have to focus on the big picture, and that is your kids.... and they are great! So you must be doing a good job!
ReplyDeleteAwe thanks ladies!!!! (((BIG MOM HUGS))))
ReplyDeleteYour a great Momma! You worry about these things....... bad momma's don't. And you LOST and didn't gain......... something to be proud of :) Deb Y.
