Tell me I am not the only one who has had one too many mom fail moments as of late.
A Little Grace.
Sunday, February 9, 2014
So, last week I sent Ona to school with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich lunch in her purple crayon box. I had completely forgotten to buy a lunch box for her. Then, once there, I realized that peanut butter and jelly was a no no because of allergies. I definitely felt like I could encapsulate that whole situation with #momfail. On top of that, I hate that I think in hashtags. To redeem myself, that very night I ordered a cute Dora lunch box for my big girl. It came on Saturday, but I just had a chance to open it tonight.
Guys, three cuties can barely fit into it. It is soooo tiny. Apparently, I didn't read the item specifications very closely. #nowonderitwasonlysixbucks. There I go again. I felt really silly/bad/frustrated. Then I felt like an idiot for thinking that my two year old daughter will somehow be affected by what lunch box she has. I mean, she had a really sweet time last week.
So, I gave myself a little grace. I really stink at that sometimes. Then sometimes I think I give myself a bit too much. It is a hard balance. One thing I know for sure...I am thankful for Grace.

Oh girl. You are SO not alone. Grace is must for this crazy thing called motherhood. My #momfails happen daily, but thankfully it's not only HIM that gives grace, but these littles we love. They're so resilient. You're such a great mama. :)
