This is the face of a Mom. A Mom who was excited to sit down for a family dinner.
A Mom who cooked the food her family loves because she had the time to that day. A Mom who was looking forward to a family dinner together because her husband was home in time that night.
A Mom who said “Okay, time for family dinner!” only to be inundated with complaints of “No I don’t want family dinner! Not family dinner! We want to watch something!” from both her kids.
A Mom who decided she didn’t feel like forcing her kids to sit at the table & have a nice dinner together. A Mom who took their plates straight to the TV & turned on a show in silence. A Mom who took her husband’s plate to the computer where he was finishing dictations from the day. A Mom who never said a word & sat down at the table by herself. A Mom who got up to get something to drink & turned back around only to find her 5 year old son sitting across from her spot.
At the table.
With the TV show still on in the den, he’d come over without her saying a word about it. And they started a family dinner.
Then little sister came over. And then Dad said “If we’re doing a family dinner, wait for me” and paused all his work & came over, too.
This is the face of a Mom who excused herself and went to her bathroom & bawled her eyes out. The face of a Mom who had been on the verge of crying because she felt so unappreciated but who ended up crying because she felt so loved.
The face of a Mom who got that family dinner.
Mamas, when you feel like you’re failing & under appreciated (which you are), or like your kids don’t listen or respect you, or like you give everything to everyone (which you do)…
Know this: Your Momming is enough. And it’s sticking with them even when you think it’s not. And you are enough. More than enough actually. They’re lucky to have you.
And they know it. Even if they don’t always show it. ♥️
(which they should, but they’re only human)
By the way, family dinner has always been one of my favorite things. Ever. It was when I was growing up and it still is now that I’m a grown up. And, family dinner is important.

My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s trying none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on several websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my WordPress posts into it? Any help would be appreciated.

Did you know these truths on CBD OIL and Full Spectrum CBD Hemp Oil? Cannabinoids are isolated from hemp utilizing supercritical CO2 extraction. Thanks to modern innovation, the resulting solution is clean, devoid of heavy metals and unneeded waxes, naturally present in the plant, and the sucked liquid has a common, oily consistency. CBD oil contains cannabidiol as a base component and may consist of just trace quantities of tetrahydroxycannabidiol (THC). Works as a memory enhancer, enhancing concentration and coordination of movements, removing inflammation and persistent infections. It improves the conduction of stimuli in the course of autoimmune diseases (numerous sclerosis, amyotrophic sclerosis). It is advised by medical professionals and pharmacists as an antioxidant and substance that obstructs the action of proinflammatory cytokines (proteins), e.g. in Crohn’s illness or ulcerative intestine. RSO oil has a low CBD material, while high THC. Of course, the key job of RSO is to trigger a psychoactive effect, although it can also stimulate “sick” brain structures. It is worth understanding that supplements of this type is primarily used by people to whom standard treatment does not bring relief in disease. The synergistic (enhancing) action of CBD and THC relative to each other is utilized here. Both cannabinoids can do much more together than when used independently. In addition, they jointly promote the department of inactive nerve cells, nourish the fatty envelope of the nerves, and avoid myelin inflammation that causes loss of function in some autoimmune diseases. There are also stories where marijuana in its natural form softened spasticity, minimized the frequency of convulsions and seizures, and suppressed unpleasant scrapie in Parkinson’s disease. This is where the concept of receiving RSO, planned only for chronically ill people, come from . Both marijuana oil type CBD and RSO likewise contain other cannabinoids, such as cannabichromene (CBC) and cannabigerol (CBG). The secret is not, nevertheless, that CBD frequently has actually a composition broadened to consist of flavones, flavonoids, terpenes, terpenoids, amino acids and omega acids. The difference is mostly due to motives guiding humankind to utilize one or the other product. CBD medical marijuana oil is a rather advantageous mix of cannabinoids, created to safeguard against 21st century illness. It’s best to use all of these compounds together, as nature produced them and enclosed in cannabis inflorescences. Oil of cannabis in a kind of pastime APR contains little amounts of CBD, stabilized by the existence of THC. – Modern clinical research shows that CBD + THC cope with serious autoimmune illness, while CBC or CBG show very little activity in the existence of both substances, just like flavonoids, terpenes or flavones, for that reason their content in the service appears to be unnecessary. In addition, the cannabis pressure from which THC and CBD are derived include minimal amounts of other cannabinoids. Cannabis oil has currently marked a new era in which man ceased to fear what is unidentified, and began to discover what our forefathers had already discovered and utilize the significant capacity, at very first glimpse, a little bizarre relationships, associated primarily with pathology. Medical cannabis, contrary to its name, does not mean fermented female inflorescences and leaves containing psychoactive compounds coiled in so-called “Joints”, however a beneficial oil without psychoactive THC. A standard person, after taking doses of medical marijuana and attaining the suitable state of cannabinoids in the blood, can enjoy increased resistance, decreased vulnerability to cancer, delayed aging and decreased danger of stroke or cardiovascular disease. CBD oil includes cannabidiol as a base component and might contain just trace amounts of tetrahydroxycannabidiol (THC). RSO oil has a low CBD material, while high THC. Both marijuana oil type CBD and RSO also consist of other cannabinoids, such as cannabichromene (CBC) and cannabigerol (CBG). CBD medical marijuana oil is a rather useful blend of cannabinoids, created to safeguard versus 21st century disease. Oil of cannabis in a kind of pastime APR includes little quantities of CBD, balanced by the existence of THC.

having dinner with family is very good so that harmony in the family can be maintained properly.
This is a really good tip particularly to those new to the blogosphere.
Brief but very accurate info… Appreciate
your sharing this one. A must read post!
What’s up colleagues, how is everything, and what you desire to say regarding this post, in my
view its truly amazing designed for me.
We always try to have family dinners. With a almost 13 year old and almost one year old and my husband being put on night shift, it’s gotten extremely hard to do. I still try, some dinners go smoothly than others but I still try. I want this time to be special with then and something they remember when they are older as I remember doing them with my family. Love, LOVE this article! Thank you!
Shannon, I am somehow just seeing this comment but I want you to know that it made my day! Thank you so, so much. I’m sure making time/space for family dinners gets harder & harder the older your kids get. Bravo to you for still trying, Mama. ♥️♥️ I want mine to remember it, too — just like I do from growing up.
Loved reading this article! I really enjoyed hearing your perspective. Family dinner was always my favorite growing up. It was a time where everyone got to share a bit about their day. I’m glad your dinner turned out and your family came together 💕😊
Family dinner was always one of my favorite things growing up, too! And I’m going to do everything I can to make sure my kids feel the same way. We always do a “best and worst” part of the day talk, I want to write about that next! A sweet little tradition.
I posted this recently. Basically a VERY similar situation. And you know us…Sushi at home, taco night, healthy meals, etc are the norm. Your post and pic are perfectly described. Luckily we have kids that eventually get it and are surprisingly empathetic…stay strong Mama.
Michelle O’Donnell Harris and I worked in the F&B/Restaurant industry for a combined 40 years.
We had to deal with every type of customer and even the over the top demanding ones became favorites of ours. We truly did love the life and even the crappy tippers and plain ole nasty people were always treated the same as the regulars and faves.
But these three demanding little monkeys who’ve been regulars for the past 5-6.5 years? Man. I mean…it’s tough sometimes and unfortunately we can’t fire ourselves when we own the joint, cook the food, wait the tables, wash the dishes, make all the orders, pay all the bills, and work 24/7.
Chez Harris may have to go back to Mac & Cheese and Chicken Nuggets on nightly special and breakfast included means cereal.
Obviously I’m not really upset… But someone needs to teach these kids how to treat their restaurant employees!
Drew, your comment MADE MY NIGHT. Seriously. Yes yes yes yes yes! You said it brilliantly. Your words resonate hard with me & I’m sure with every single other parent out there! So much truth. Kids bring the most love in the world…and quite possibly the most complaints, too. ♥️😭😂 pS – Yall are wonderful parents.
When I was a kid, my best friend loved dinner at my house because we sat at the table. No tv. My mom told my dad he needed to have dinner with us and talk to his children. I didn’t understand as a child how much i would appreciate that time with family. Thank you for trying to instill daytime with your family.
I looooove that your best friend used to love to eat dinner with yall because you had true family dinners. Love that. We always had them, too. And growing up I loved them. And I still do. Like you, I didn’t really understand how important that time together really was, but I see it so clearly now. Thank you for the sweet comment ❤️❤️
