Isn't motherhood tough. It's hard to know when you're doing too little or too much. Sometimes I try so hard to do something nice for my daughters, then I see a blog I'm not supposed to be able to see or hear one of them say something that they did not intend for me to hear, and I realize that what I did was not received in the spirit that I meant it. They think I'm overreacting sometimes with I'm showing sincere concern. If I did not react as I did, they would probably think that I didn't care. It's just very hard. I know they appreciate me and know they are loved. They each like to hang out with me at times, so hopefully I'm doing a good enough job that they won't be on here in a few years complaining about what a mess I was. They tell me I'm a great mom, but then would they tell me to my face if they didn't think so? I just hope I'm doing better than my mother did. I think I'm doing way better, but only time will tell. (Sorry my posts are so long. It just takes a lot of words sometime, and I'm a very fast typer.)
