For some reason I went into crying hysterics after seeing my friends pictures on Instagram of their kids Chevron stripped Valentines that they clearly came up with. I felt like a pile of crap mom because I realized I'll never measure up. I'll never have the perfectly clean organized home with cookies in the oven, heart garland hanging from the fireplace, and pink twinkle lights around my front door. Why you ask? Because I just don't care that much I guess. I'd rather take a two hour nap in the afternoon than do crafty projects, I'd rather sleep in than exercise, and I'd rather watch reality tv than fold laundry (and no they can't be done simultaneously.) I could say I don't have the time but the truth is it's just not a priority.
I'm not trying to bash on the moms who do these things. I'm sure most of them enjoy doing so, I just feel something needed to be said to the moms who don't. You don't have to put this pressure on yourselves. Get in the car, drive yourself to Target and by your kids some regular old paper Valentines, go home turn on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and congratulate yourself on a job well done.
