Nobody's perfect... not even me.

No, I didn't get an A on that OPEN BOOK test. In fact, I got a B... MINUS! To say I was livid is like saying there was a bit of water in Japan. I mean, I was irate!

But I had time to think about it, and I said to myself, "If Robbie came home from school with a B-, would you be this mad?" No, of course I wouldn't as long as I knew he had done his best. As much as I hate to admit it, a B- was actually my best (on an open book test... I know!). Every single question I got wrong was a question I narrowed down to 2 possible answers. Each time, I chose the wrong one. It wasn't "the most correct answer." (I'm still irritated by the type of test it was, but I digress)

So, my perfect 4.0 GPA is gone. Actually, I am surprised I had it for an entire year! I'm just a regular person. I'm not super-mom, I'm not Den Mom of the Year. Heck, if I'm "Mom of the Day" I consider it successful!

However, I do have homework to attend to now... Just because I didn't get an A doesn't mean I stop trying!

  1. We are so much harder on ourselves. You are doing great, Maureen! You are juggling so very much! Besides, I was shocked by this title, because I thought you were perfect;-)
