Some days are just hard days. These are the days I have to just step back and realize what is really worth stressing about. As moms, we often want everything to be just perfect for everyone in our home. This past year of complete craziness has truly taught me one thing. And that is GRACE. First, I need to give myself grace. I am not perfect. I am only one person. One person that has many titles: Caregiver, Wife, Mom, Employee, Friend, Daughter, & now a Teacher.
I have also learned to really give my kids grace! We have high expectations for them. It was hard for me to accept, but I do have to realize this change has really affected them too. They went from having a routine and going to school for an education, and now MOM is the teacher. A teacher that hasn’t even been trained. We are all just winging it this year. It has truly taught me that we ALL deserve some GRACE. It will all be okay!
