That mom

I'm just not that mom.
The one who has it all together.
I have gotten frustrated with my kids way too much this week.
Missed football practice and wrestling sign ups.
My kids haven't had baths since Sunday. 
I forgot to wear deodorant Monday.
Haven't prayed as often as I should.
Spewed my negativity on others in the "need" to vent. 
I have cried over not being pretty enough.
I have spoke when I shouldn't.
I wear frumpy clothes and most days sport a messy bun. 
My sink is full of dishes.
There is weeding that desperately needs tending to. 
I'm not a great cook.
Decorating....you have got to be kidding me, how do you ladies figure this stuff out?!
There are spots on the carpets, spots on the walls and handprints all over the windows.
I don't have it all together.
I just don't.

 And today is one of those days where not having it all together reminds me
that I'm a failure. 
A big ole mom fail.

 .........thankfully I have found grace. And even though I wish I had a glass of wine to drink. And wish I could just get it together. I'm glad to Him I don't have to be perfect. He takes me just as I am, messy bun and all.

We are not part of his story and he is not part of ours

"Write drunk; edit sober" -Ernest Hemingway I've never actually attempted this, but tonight I am. I've had my wine and if you know me at all it doesn't take much to get my lightheaded & giggly. I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
