HOWEVER, Had a meeting today at school about Little Darling and trying to get her on a more academically stable footing. Bio-Mom was conference called in on it. (Yes, one must remember that if I have to ask her permission to get bangs cut, you KNOW that she has to be in on these meetings.) And while I really can not and will not get into the specifics of Little Darlings history, I will say this; Shit. I really have to remember to take about 10 steps back and look at the whole picture before pulling out my hair.
This does not mean that I will excuse bad behavior or not hold her accountable; that would only damage her further. However, I will remember that I need to measure the steps forward, not the steps back as one day, if we keep at it, they might start to even out.
So my lesson for all of us today is this; hug your kids, don't worry about when they roll their eyes at you, and remember that on your worst mom day, you are still dong a great job.
