it's okay - it's not just me!

i'd have to say parenting can take many shapes, forms, likes and dislikes and during my 11year  journey of parenting*. i've come to realize i am okay...with parenting!
well okay with a few things-ideas-situations and they are:

"poop happens" - otherwise known as sh*$ happens, because really it does! literally and figuratively. and if  you know like i know... it can happen in the most interesting places.

it's okay to scream - kid(s) giving you the blues crying and screaming, don't think about tying him/her/them up or hiding in the closet, just join in- scream, cry, or fall out on the floor with them - it helps (not the situation of course but your mental stability)!

a messy nest is sometimes best because "mommy maids", well she was laid off...and the clean-up song was instituted

so why am i okay with this...

because it's life and i've heard and read similar stories from other parents [which has to mean something] and I now realize, it's okay - it's not just me! and well, knowing that in itself is awesome and gratifying!

so now i'm off to other realizations that don't make sense. 
what things have you become okay with during your parenting journey?

*[on parenting: okay so there have only been 2 years the other 9 years were with my GOD kids - that really doesn't count ya' know considering i could send them home].
