Could be worse…

The other night while I was putting Sam to bed I was pondering our relationship. I guess we had a pretty good day but I was feeling a little less than perfect in the mom department. There are days when I feel like all I ever do is say, “No, Sam”, “Stop it, Sam”, or just simply an exasperated, “Sam Sam SAM!” And I don’t like it. I want her to look back when she is older and think about what a great mom she had, not remember, “God, Mom yelled all the time “or “Mom was always in such a bad mood.” So, not really knowing what to expect, but being prepared to hear the worst, I asked her, “Sam, how would you describe Mommy? If someone asked you, what is your Mommy like, what would you say?” She thought about it for a minute, and then gave me three words. And only three.
Cute
Funny
Silly
These three words are not the ones that leap to mind when I think about myself. But they are pretty good words. And they reflect a Mommy that a little girl could love to be with. I’ll take it.
