But, I am going to be super at being my daughter’s Mommy. I’m going to give her my full attention when
she is telling me about the Bible story she learned at school today or about
her struggles with her friends. I’m
going to take time to snuggle and to watch Cinderella with her for the 100th
time. I’m going to show up at school and
have lunch with her just because I miss her.
I’m going to let the dust settle and the laundry piles grow because
there is new snow on the ground and making a snowman is more important. You see, I’ve come to realize that laundry
will always be there, cleaning will always need to be done, she won’t care if
the cupcakes came from the grocery store or not BUT she will care if I gave her
my time and frankly 7½ will not last forever.
All too soon I will be wishing for her to be home more or to snuggle
together before she goes to bed.
I may not be Super Mom with all of externals in perfect
order but I can be a super Mommy when it comes to cherishing my little girl and
building a relationship and memories.
You have it perefectly right!
