I am not an overly private person. Some things I prefer to keep to myself but most of the time, I am an open book. I have found over time that it is better to be open because then you also have the opportunity to gain support/advice/whathaveyou from others who totally "get" your situation.
Despite this being my usual way of doing things, I totally want to unpost my last post...about my 'top 3' fail moments as a mom.
I keep thinking I should have read it over one last time or just deleted it altogether. I feel like it makes me sound terrible...and I feel a tremendous need to back-pedal. To tell you of the moments that go RIGHT for me as a parent...to give you some evidence that I am not a complete witch.
But I think I will just leave it as is. Because it's real and it's the truth. And if this blog isn't honest, then why do I bother to write it at all?

Your last post does not make you sound like a terrible person -- it makes you sound human! We've all been there, we'll be there again, and anyone who says they haven't is either lying or hasn't been a parent long enough! :)
Your honesty is refreshing. I've said it many times, Not a day goes by that I don't think of some mistake I made that day and feel badly about. Putting it out there into the bloggy universe can only make us stronger. Make us work harder. Gives us a clean slate to start over the next day. The smiles on your kiddos faces show everyone whos worth showing all of the "RIGHT" things your doing as a mommy.
Oh, gosh, believe me, we've all had those moments. I had one today, actually. I'm the same way, I like to share and be honest. Sometimes I share too much, but I'd rather err on that side, personally.
Your blog is really inspiring.
I think one learns a lot from being open and honest. First of all we should get to know with ourselves and blog helps in that very much.
P.S. You've got amazing children.
