Some Days

Some days I feel guilty for letting my daughter watch one too many shows;
Some days I don't care as I need a break.

Some days I rock at the whole housekeeping thing, laundry, dishes, floors swept;
Some days I wonder how I will make it to the other side of the room because of the mess.

Some days I put on cute clothes, pants that fight just right and know I am smoking hot;
Some days I look in the mirror and wonder when the circles and lines got so big and dark.

Some days I find whatever snack looks good and is within my reach;
Some days I eat good healthy meals even getting all of my vegetables for the day.

Some days I just don't know how I will do it and don't even want to;
Some days it just seems so easy.

Every day no matter what that someday may have brought, I know that I am a daughter of God who loves me and wants so much more for me, some days I just remember it more than others.

It's comforting to know that even on the days you don't remember it so well, he's still there. :)

every day i feel badly for letting brennan watch too many shows and play on pbskids too much. it is a constant battle within myself.

Colleen said...

Very well said. On those less thrilling some days, I always find myself wondering how the heck I do it other days!

Jen said...

We ALL have days like that, Emmy. Hopefully, they are few and far between :)
I think you're amazing, and I'm sure your family does too. We all need a break sometimes :)

Lourie said...

It's on those days when we eat whatever, and have the circles that we have to push a little harder. Those days are hard. Knowing we are daughters of God is something we should always remember.

And it's okay to take those breaks. ;)

And now you are officially tagged...

Ahhh Mom said...

You pretty much just summed up my life. Especially the whole housekeeping part. Not the good you rock part, the mess part :)

Grumpy Grateful Mom said...

I can relate to all of those! It's nice to know that God is always is there is there to help, especially if I'm having a tough day. :)

Kimberly said...

Great post! I think we can all relate to this.

Mom of 12 said...

Love this! Although I think I'm usually on the bad side of the coin. My sweetie was home sick today and my whole world fell apart. I need to read your last sentence over and over until I have it memorized for days like this!

Oh! You just put a ball in your salad spinner with paint and spin.

I think we all feel this way, but you just wrote it so eloquently. Thank goodness for His grace and favor!

Anti-Supermom said...

What a wonderful post, a great reminder that God is there in our own good and bad!

Rach (DonutsMama) said...

I have nothing more to add to this because you so eloquently stated what I feel a lot of the time. Somedays I've got it together, a lot of days I just don't.

Xazmin said...

This seriously brought tears to my eyes Emmy. I love it. So much. You are amazing!

Amy said...
