More about others' opinions
So after reading some replies to one of my posts below, I've realized something. Much of the angst and guilt that I have about trying to be a good mom are not about me or how Jeremiah will turn out. It's about me worrying about what other people will think and I'm not even going to get in to it.
However, it makes me feel better realizing why I'm feeling the way I do. Thanks to K and C for reminding me of my blessings and hopefully I can discard some of the thoughts about what others might think about my parenting skills.
As I've told myself in the past, in 10, 15 or 50 years what will truly matter is that my children will know that I loved them and their father very much.
Have a good weekend!

You're fabulous and you're a fabulous mom. Don't be so hard on yourself! And about your snowglobe, it's a great analogy. I can't wait to catch up with you again when I get back to campus. Maybe we can make some time to get together before then...
