Today is one of those days....

When I want to quit my job as a parent and go back to my full time job, that was less full time than mothering.
Today I am tired of fighting for naps when my 1 yr old cries whether she is in her bed or out, whether I am holding her or not.
Today I must look at pictures of that happy smiling 1 yr old through the past year so that I remember I really don't want to go back to my full time job, even with all it's vacation time and sick days.
Even though she has the 5th poopy diaper in as many hours I have to remind myself that I love this job I chose, even if I don't love it today.

Just thought I would post in case any of you wondered if my life was just sparkly and perfect....ok, so I know you don't, but really I'm posting because saying these things to my screaming 1 yr old would just be cruel.

If you need me I'll be in the rocking chair upstairs staring down my 1 yr old.
