Ideally, I would love the be the June Cleaver of Mom's. I would have the cleanest, most organized house, a perfect schedule, dinner on the table every night and perfectly behaved children. Well when the real world hits you realize that being the "perfect mom" is just a fantasy. I work, I volunteer for a non-profit, I love crafts and I have a 22 month old. There is no time for the perfect life. But, I try to make it as clean, fun and organized as possible. Sometimes it works....and sometimes it doesn't.
With Halloween right around the corner I thought I would do something special for my daughter for dinner last night. So, I bought a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese in Halloween shapes to have with dinner. Making the mac & cheese was the fun part. But, when we sat down to dinner my daughter said "don't want it" and wouldn't eat her dinner. Finally, after some coaxing from grandma and grandpa via skype Mackenzie ate some of her mac and cheese and all the pears I had for her. Needless to say, the fun, exciting dinner I had planned turned out to be more of an aggravation than fun.
Until next time...
Jamie
