Less Then Perfect Mom

By 6:00AM this morning my blood pressure had risen, and I was frustrated.  After repeatedly telling Jack to sit at his chair and eat his breakfast, rather then run around the house spilling crumbs everywhere.  I picked him up, put him in his chair, and sat down next to him with my coffee on his table.  He then proceeded to continue the mess, hit me, and as John walked up the stairs from working out  spill my full coffee mug everywhere.  I was a bit surprised and frustrated and realized  I needed a mommy deep breath time out to remind myself my little boy is a little boy and it is about consistency and patience. 

I left the house to drive to Orlando at 7:30AM.  Upset about the mornings events and that I was leaving, but also excited for some time in the car by myself.  I picked my boss up at 10:30 and sometime along the way to our meeting told him about the morning.  He proceeded to send me this article he had sent to his wife earlier this morning.  I guess it couldn't have been more perfectly written, or more perfectly timed to arrive in my inbox.  Enjoy, especially to all those that might have had a morning like mine.
