I Failed Today

I failed today. 

We woke up late and ate whatever we wanted for breakfast. We sat in front of the tv to watch cartoons as we ate our leftover Easter candy as our most important meal of the day. 

I failed today. 

We didn't do a single lesson for school. We didn't even open our laptops or notebooks. They've been working extremely hard every single day this week and we're all mentally drained.

I failed today. 

My kids had spaghettios for lunch with a bag of chips as a side. They also had an insane amount of snacks because we didn't follow our normal eating schedule.

I failed today. 

I didn't do any housework at ALL. Instead, I sat down on the couch, drank some warm coffee, and played video games with my crotch goblins.

I failed today.

Dinner consisted of a random variety of fried appetizers with ice cream sandwiches for dessert. 

I failed today.

We stayed up wayyyyyyyy past our bedtimes to play and watch tv. The playroom is destroyed and I didn't make them clean up or even take a bath before kissing their foreheads to wish them the sweetest dreams. 

I failed today. I failed at being their teacher. I failed at being their chef. I failed at being their schedule keeper. I failed at being their maid. I failed in so many categories, but do you know what I didn't fail? 

Being their mom, friend, and their teammate in Mario Kart.

Tomorrow, we'll wake up, put our game faces on, and get back to business, but today, I was just their mess of a mom and that's all they needed me to be. ❤
