Picture Us Imperfectly

thanks to this anonymous guest blogger for reminding us all that it's okay to have imperfect moments!  We're linking up with Capturing Motherhood to embrace our mommy moments!

A couple of weeks ago, my toddler found a snack size of potato chips in the bottom of the pantry and insisted on eating them in place of a sensible breakfast. Of course, the toddler won out. I like to think it was because I prefer to choose my battles, but it probably had more to do with how much easier it was to open that then make him oatmeal or pancakes. The next day I realized the half eaten bag of potato chips were still sitting on the kitchen counter. I tossed them in the trash.

Fastforward a few hours and my toddler is happily marching around munching on some little snack. I wonder what he must have found that has made him so happy. Upon following him back to the kitchen, I find that not only has he found the half eaten bag of surely now stale chips, but has begun snacking on them. The worse part is I didn't stop him from going back for seconds. So, go ahead and picture a fellow MOPS mom imperfectly...because that would be completely accurate.
