I cannot imagine how tough your life can be. But I do know that you are a great person and both Charlie and Davey know they have an A+ mom even if you would give yourself a B.Vanessa Paffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319489069036979213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397010736775030608.post-47206757122964014012011-05-20T11:37:45.836-07:002011-05-20T11:37:45.836-07:00I admire you SO much!

You are doing a GREAT job, so don't let anyone else make you feel differently! They haven't walked in your shoes or been faced with the same trials you have. You're raising two healthy, happy babies and that's all that matters!Ashleigh-Anne:https://www.blogger.com/profile/01873983229230280878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397010736775030608.post-76313507851735271262011-05-20T08:30:46.852-07:002011-05-20T08:30:46.852-07:00First, I can't believe the comments people hav...First, I can't believe the comments people have made to you. You should have Insensitivity Awards (maybe buttons?) you can hand out in the middle of Wal-Mart. Or start singing the song "Insensitive" (by Jann Arden) really loud when they walk away. You've got a great voice, I know you could pull it off. :)<br /><br />I am so grateful for your honesty. So #2 has been accomplished. And I hope #1 was accomplished for your sake. And I hope only part of #3 happens, which would be someone sending you a big fat check (for no reason). 'Cause that would just be awesome.<br /><br />I've got no pearls of wisdom. I often struggle with feeling like I'm not doing a good enough job, too. But then there are days when I realize that today is all I've got. And somehow I am motivated to except it fully, imperfections included. And because I'm a total nerd, I sometimes remind myself of the Anne of Green Gables quote "Tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it."<br /><br />Hang in there Maggie! I'm rooting for you! (and I would love to be able to see you one day and let our super cute kids play together) :) :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04417603575233792880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397010736775030608.post-26618675092971850022011-05-20T05:15:34.361-07:002011-05-20T05:15:34.361-07:00I love you, Maggie!

I, too, have those irrational moments of feeling like I just can't do anything right. But you are right...it IS irrational. We are all just human beings doing the best we can with what we have. And YOU, my friend, are an awesome mom! All you have to do is look at the pictures and videos you post of those precious faces to see they have all the love and happiness they need and so much more! You inspire me! And you are awesome...even on days you don't think you are!Lori Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11728775342986422589noreply@blogger.com
