a good enough mom.
I am not perfect.
but, I am good enough.
I yell.
but, I am good enough.
I say "just a minute" too many times.
but, I am good enough.
I forget to buy milk. and toilet paper.
but, I am good enough.
because in between all the imperfections,
in between the tears I sometimes I hide as I leave for work,
I do my best.
I say I'm sorry.
I make good use of the time I do have.
and there are days like today, when I hit a homerun.
and I realize
yes, I am good enough.

Oh, I love this post. The tears you hide as you leave for work...those were mine leaving Parker as an infant. Love you, you wonderfully-good-enough-to-be-a-great-mom!
we already knew you were a great mom.....glad you got a glimpse of what we see in you already.
MORE than enough...
just who your girls need...
a gift to all those around you!
look at the joy on their faces!
too cute!
YOU my friend are the BEST ever friend and mother... because you CARE about being good enough! I love you!
i love home runs...
feeling your joy right now.
carin-those words are beautiful. they are so true and so good and yes, you are good enough. you are more than good enough. you are an example and a role model...to me and to so many others. xoxox
i love the sno cones...how happy that made them...i know it!!!
WOW. Heck, I don't even KNOW you (other than your blog) and I can tell what an AWESOME mom you are. Your love and adoration for your kids is so obvious.
You're WAY better than "good enough", girl! :-)
I love these photos! I'm reminded of all the lazy afternoons we spent every summer running through sprinklers. Wow... it didn't really take much to make us happy back then. The mom that knows that IS a good mom...
Cedar Point has nothing on your day. You made Six Flags over Lansing! Kudos to you...yes, you're good enough. Never doubt it. Never. You made memories today--strong ones that will last forever and be repeated when your girls are moms.
GREAT pictures Carin! Just beautiful.
You're a great mom and a great photographer too! I love the pictures :)
Tears here because I know know know that feeling...so just keep this day and when the bee stings...look back :-)
Kelle says it well! You seems purt' darn spectacular to me.
good enough... funny- that is sometimes how i think, too, but sometimes with a question mark. i suppose we all have our days- gold star days, and big red "x" mark days... and in the end, good enough is pretty great!
