Right after lunch, I took Emma to her cooking class. The boys and I went and did several errands. I was lucky that everything I needed to do was all in the same vicinity. We went to the party supply store to get more hats for my show tonight, the library, Roberts and Target. The boys were actually really good too, thank goodness.
The performance tonight went reasonably well. I didn't think it would judging by how the girls looked during the run-through beforehand. They looked like they had no clue! I don't know if I just taught harder songs this time or what. In the end, the show was okay though.
As we were cleaning up afterwards, the boys (who had been AWFUL during the show) were being crazy. The security guard was not happy with us and was practically begging us to just LEAVE! I got a little defensive when I shouldn't have. I should have just apologized but I hate these moments that make me feel like I am failing in my parenting. Sadly, I've been feeling like that a lot lately.

That looks like a cute show! It's clear from your blog that you are NOT a failure as a parent, although I certainly understand and identify with the discouragement. Buck up little buckaroo! You're doing a great job!
Cute costumes! Dana tells me that you are quitting. I understand that because you like photography better - what you get from being multi-talented!
But when you want to quit the mothering (like once a day, every day) you don't have that choice, so hang in there. I think the Lord planned children to teach us the important character traits, i.e. patience, selfless love, enduring to the end...
For the record, I think you are an awesome mom! If you're anything like me, you're feeling this way because you are doing it ALL BY YOURSELF! Give yourself a little credit - you've been a single parent for weeks on end now. I can't imagine how single moms do it. I need my husband so desperately.
