These are the Times

There are times, as a parent, when your child tells you how mean you are, maybe calls you evil, and you think to yourself, "Well, I must be doing something right".

Then, there are other times, like last night, when you realize you are doing something right.  ED looked at me and said, "Mom, you are the best Mom.  Other families have good moms, but you are the right Mom for this family". 

When I tucked EM into bed she looked at me and said, "Mom, I love you so much, even when you are mean, I love you". 

Yep, I must be doing something right.  That, and the fact that I have yet to be able to clean up my heart because it just melted, right onto the floor.
