Pancakes

      


 

I had enough energy today to make Sunday morning pancakes. They were very handy for explaining to the kids, and a bit to myself, why surgery day is a good thing. 

Some Days

Some days, you wonder if being a working mom has cost your kids something. Some days you wonder if it’s cost YOU something. Some days you wonder if not joining the clubs, not doing the sports, if skipping the extra classes and early music/art/language classes has cost your child something or will put them behind.

Some days you wonder if you really should have that fear of losing out everyone else seems to have. Did I do enough? Should we have started piano/soccer/gymnastics/swimming lessons by now?

Am I the worst parent ever for doing Saturday pancakes instead of Saturday sports? Some days the outside pressure to perform as a parent delivers a lot of internal guilt and self doubt...

...some days, your daycare sends proof! Bwaaahaaaaaaaaaa
