Reasons I'm a Good Mom

I need this post. Ever have one of those days? Mine was yesterday. So indulge me. Thankyouverymuch.

I've determined I'm a good mom because...

1. I vacuum Lego's out of my kitchen vent.
2. I make my daughter oatmeal for dinner if she really wants it.
3. I keep my children's toys in order (I also keep them from mixing up all the Play-doh, but we won't go there)
4. I support my son in his slightly OCD habits...mostly because they're my habits too. :)
5. I sometimes cry when I see my little girl all dressed for dance class.
6. I iron their church clothes. And I always make sure their shoes match. And Sissy's hair accessories. Every great once in awhile, the whole family matches! My husband loves that.
7. I spend time away from my kids. Without feeling guilty about it.
8. I always know what to order them at McDonald's and Chick-fil-A so that everyone gets enough nuggets and fruit for themselves...only sometimes Bubba likes a cheeseburger.
9. I often have a sixth sense about where to look for lost things.
10. I know the name of every character of every movie they've ever seen. I'm a fount of useless knowledge like that.
11. I like watching the Imagination Movers. And the Backyardigans. And Wall-E. And...well, we'll just leave it at that.
12. I change songs on the CDs in the car on demand...most of the time.
13. I seem to have a knack for boiling down great truths of God so that Luke actually runs out of questions. For example, Mama, are there stores in heaven? No, baby. We won't need stores in heaven. Then how will I buy Power Miners there? God has everything in heaven we need to be happy forever, baby. Oh. Okay.
14. I have apparently taught my children enough about God that they know to ask these questions.
