End of April Already

So, here we are at the end of April and I feel like I have so much on my to-do list that I never seem to get done. I should be happy in getting some things accomplished but the joy of checking things off the list is always quickly replaced with the weight of the things I still want to get done. I hope everyone will take a second (yes, sometimes it’s just a second) to say to themselves “nice job”. Life is hectic and we want the best for our kids and sometimes things go smoothly and many times they do not. This morning, we realized that my daughter forgot her face mask and it was a mad dash back to the house and another faster sprint back to the bus stop. Whatever happened to the emergency mask I had placed in my son’s backpack and daughter’s backpack? No one will ever know; both were no where to be found. Neither of them had made it to school without one before. There should’ve been at least one in someone’s backpack. I felt so bad in that moment. I hate the feeling of not being prepared for something so simple but I am trying to not be so hard on myself for being human. I can’t remember the last time I even checked to see if the emergency masks were still in there but I am going to go add them back in there right now since they recently came home from school. Before I go…I want to wish everyone a great weekend and the gift to forgive ourselves. Because let’s face it, we can’t get it right all of the time and that is okay. We do our best and that will need to be enough for today and we will do more when we can.
