I have now been a parent for 3 years and 6 days. In this time I have done my best to be a decent mother, to love and care for my child and help her grow. At no point have I ever tried to be the "best Mom", or even the "great Mom". No, my ambition is to be a mediocre-at-best mother. My experience has been that all my friends who had mediocre-at-best mothers had the funnest childhoods, and those mother escape child rearing with their sanity intact.
I have really outdone myself now. For Rebecca's third birthday I: worked, glared at my boyfriend (because my daughter wasn't there), and worked again. Now, a week later I have decided (today) to have a party for her.
Did I mention that I decided to have the party tonight? Did I mention that because of the moving going on that my house is a mess? Did I mention that most of my immediate family is in California? and I'm having the party anyway.
Yep, mother of the year, right here.
