She is fine. Her car is a little less. There are a million ways to be a good mom at at times I have been an unconventional mother, but as I sat on the phone with her, reassuring her that I was there, even if it was only across the phone lines, I knew that perhaps maybe, I did a semi-good job. That at 20, my girl still wants her mom when things are tough. <br /><br />This mom gig is brutally tough but oh so rewarding and beautiful.Joann Mannixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163491824085428085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991265338210422893.post-66290481226800183042011-07-07T18:54:37.055-05:002011-07-07T18:54:37.055-05:00I think I need to tattoo that on my arm. =)I think I need to tattoo that on my arm. =)The Random Blogettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09189747977991245122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991265338210422893.post-7856590797060310032011-07-07T16:26:07.704-05:002011-07-07T16:26:07.704-05:00What a perfect quote!

I think I l..."Give them all memories"...<br /><br />I think I like those words even better than the quotation.<br /><br />Because we ARE so busy running around trying to be - if not perfect - then at least good;<br />and then we miss both the big picture and the details.<br /><br />I've been trying to really enjoy these days with my kids (instead of wishing the summer away so I can 'get things done').<br /><br />When I find myself exhausted by it all I try to remember how brief these moments are.<br /><br />Thanks for adding to the reminder.
