The Tate Family

Guys, I needed this tonight.  Today was a crap day.  A self inflicted one.  The day started 2 hours earlier than my body wants to start, and I let that rule my day.  Today I felt like I failed as a Momma.  I was cranky, short and down right mean, and when I feel like I am failing as a Momma, I feel like I fail at everything, because being a Momma is everything.  I questioned everything today.  Everything I do.  Lets blame a little of the dramatics on some pregnant hormones, because I know I was way over the top.  It’s still a terrible feeling though.

Thankfully, this session was up on the chopping block.  And it kinda saved me.  Is it technically perfect?  Not even close.  But what is perfect is this family and the amazing connection, joy and love between them.  You can feel it when you look at these.  I felt it big time and it brought me back to a very much needed reality.  This is everything folks.  Your family and the love you share is everything.  Even on the bad days, my babies still love me and I still love them with the most incredible love there is.  They won’t remember this bad Momma day tomorrow.  In fact they probably forgot about it by the time I kissed them goodnight.  Because that kind of love really does conquer all.  My kids seem to keep that much clearer than I do sometimes.

Sorry for the sap.  Just had to put these feelings into the universe.  Squeeze those you love.
