Every day I struggle to be a better parent. Lately I am losing the battle. I am stressed, sick, tired, overworked. I have a million excuses. At the end of the day I tell myself I will do better the next day. Sometimes I do, often I do not. I want their holidays to be special and filled with wonderful things. And then I find myself two days before Christmas, exhausted from working nonstop for months, wondering how I will manage even getting wrapped presents under the tree, much less a Martha Stewart table with turkey. But we will be together and that is enough--it has to be.
