Some days I feel like the best mom in the world

 Some days I feel like the best mom in the world

I bake cookies from scratch
I read the extra bedtime story
I kiss every scraped knee like it’s my job

And then there are days when I snap too fast
When the noise is too loud
When I feel like I’m drowning in the chaos

I wonder which version of me my kids will remember
The warm soft mama
Or the overwhelmed one who needed five minutes to breathe

But maybe
They’ll remember both
Maybe they’ll see that even the strongest people have hard moments
Maybe they’ll know that love isn’t about being perfect
It’s about showing up anyway

So if today you felt like both the gentle nurturer and the frazzled mess
You’re not alone
You’re human
And you’re doing enough
