Just When You Think You Know It All....

I swear that every time I think that I know what I'm doing as a mom, something comes along to prove otherwise. I consider myself to be a good mother and I'm learning everyday. It always happens to me that I feel as if I know what I'm doing....and then bam there's a situation that throws me all off again. My poor baby girl has had a fever for a couple of days and after calling into the doctor a couple of times, I went with my maternal instinct and took her in for a visit just to be sure. It turns out that my little sweetie pie is cutting three molars which caused her a double ear infection. Oh my God, are you serious? I was in shock as she doesn't really exhibit that many symptoms so here we are on antibiotics again. Thank God we took her in but I felt so stupid for not having a clue. Learning every day---I suppose that's a part of motherhood. She's a trooper, she really is! So hoping that she feels more like herself once the antibiotic kicks in. Who knows, maybe she'll even walk for us just for fun!!

Still nothing much on the job front. My wonderful husband tells me to just chill out and enjoy a slow time, but I'm not sure I know how to do that anymore. So here I sit waiting for more work to come in, trying to be proactive but not wasting my time on things that aren't worthwhile. I'm hoping it all works out and that I land some great jobs, but in the meantime and always my main focus is to take care of the family and make sure that all is well. Three weeks until our vacation so maybe that's why I'm slower, so that I can enjoy some time with Faith before we head out.
So here's to being a mother that truly doesn't know it all, will never claim to know it all, and will likely be learning lessons even when her children are adults. I can only laugh at myself sometimes!!
