ya. well, good is good. or is it?
i was talking to a good friend today (more on that later) who said something along the lines of "you are a good mom." immediately, i was all, "no. i am not a good mom." (please, this is not a post where i need reassurance about motherhood. i know you support me in my mommyness, i am really using this example to speak to 'good') it was like when someone says, "i really like your bangs!" and i want to say, "they are not attractive bangs," or, "what? these hack-job, too short bangs?!" or, "pfft. yeah, right."
one man's trash is another man's treasure, right? so maybe i am a good mom. maybe good mom is just as flexible a sentiment as good bangs, good friend? maybe, maybe i am a good mom with awesome bangs and maybe i'm a good friend.
good is very, very bad.
i rarely spend time with my friends. by a 'i spend time weekly with my good friends' kind of gal's measure, i wouldn't fit the good friend category. i think a good mom sets a good example. good examples like, staying fit, keeping up the house, being involved in outside activities (like volunteering, being on a coffee committee, gardening, hostessing and visiting) and providing a regular schedule and balanced meals. everything i don't do. so yes, i think a good mom is the opposite of me. a good mom is like...my mom. and my mom comes over here all the time to help me....BECAUSE SHE KNOWS I AM A BAD MOM!??? is this widely known? oh, jen's poor kids, what with her being a bad mom and general terrible person.
