Mum guilt

For having made the small one cry this morning because she was being uncooperative and refusing to brush her teeth....and the clock was ticking.

For having made the big one cry last night before bed time because she was being difficult and whiny and grouchy.

For maybe I could be better. 

For maybe I'm not doing enough to guide them. 

For maybe I'm not being a good enough influence on them.

For all the ways I am lacking.

But I'm trying. 

Sometimes blindly trying but trying nevertheless.
