Intentions

Parenting is a weird and personal thing isn't it? We can sit back and judge but there's usually always more to the story on why people do things. 

The kids had Ms. Becky watch them both when they were babies. We LOVE Ms. Becky and she taught me so much about being a Mom. She never meant to I don't think but she was full of good information and I always tried to listen. The best thing I remember -

It's all about intention. As long as you have good intentions, all should be good. 

Isn't that something? She's spot on and I think about it often. 

It came up recently because I sent Grady to school and then the school nurse called me and told me he had a he fever about 4 hours into the day. I felt terrible for him and for the fact that I may have exposed other kids. But I didn't know! And I didn't have bad intentions sending him to school that day. I honestly just didn't have a clue he didn't feel good. 

But he got it from a friend then two other boys got it. And I felt so much guilt over the whole thing. They also could have gotten something by going to Target or wherever. I mean it was January and at school with 16 kids in the class. Don't worry I didn't beat myself up too much. I did feel badly though. 

All about those intentions. Keep them good and do the right thing! I'm trying and we can all do our best!
