Today as I was making lunch for the kiddos, I
accidentally put too much milk in the Mac 'n Cheese...that's right nothing but the best for my family! ;) Anyhow, it got me to thinking how my mom ALWAYS used to put too much milk in the Mac 'n Cheese and how I hated it! While I'm still not that fond of Mac 'n Cheese, I'll eat it, and I'm thankful for what God provides. But my whole point in blogging this is the older I get...rather the older my kids get and the more parenting experiences I have that I swore I'd never be like my parents...in all reality, ALL parents are quite the same. We all try to coax our children into eating veggies or something they don't like by telling them "there are starving children elsewhere in the world." We try to make our children thankful for the clothes and toys and home they have because "there are other kids out there without this many toys, or a home at all!" And fact of the matter is, we all mess up...yes, even the GREATEST parents mess up. But ya know what, I think all our kids turn out better for our mistakes. They can watch us and learn from them...and one day repeat some of the same ones with their own children. And perhaps, next time, I'll remember to use a measuring cup when pouring milk into the Mac 'n Cheese!
