And Chocolate Cake.

The Good Mom has endless energy.

She strives at all times.

She never tires of playing, hugging, cradling, loving.

She maintains her house in the cleanest of states.

She does not want a nap in the afternoon.

She does not put in a movie as a babysitter.

She provides perfect foods.

She never uses the computer for her leisure but only for her children's education.

She is never snappy, fussy, or frustrated.

She is endless void of unreachable-ness.

I am imperfect me.

Imperfect stained carpet.

Typing fingers.

Staring at the screen.

Eating chocolate cake.

Tired eyes.

Frustrated, guilty, messy, beat-down, annoyed.

I try.

I am all that is trying.
