It's okay, on the days you'd rather not get out of bed, to go to work without washing your hair or putting on makeup (just don't look in the mirror).
It's okay to miss your mom, and wish she could take over, when you feel like you suck as a parent.
It's okay to read a trashy book instead of the "educational" read you got out of the library…
I could go on, and on, and on…

* It's okay to want your kids to get a better education than you did and make more money than you do.
*It's okay to want a friend just to talk to sometimes.
*It's okay to wish for a diamond ring from your significant other.
*It's okay to take a day off from work when it snowed too much the night before and you "can't make it in."
I love you Toni- you are so real and transparent!
It is ok to buy bigger jeans because you haven't lost the weight yet…
It is ok to get irritated when someone cuts you off in traffic
It is ok to nod and hmm, hmm at your child when they are reciting the entire version of a movie event though you aren't really listening to a word they are saying..
These are brilliant and so many of them completely apply to me. Here are some of mine:
It's OK to be bored and goof off at work sometimes.
It's OK to tell your kids to shut up because your ears are bleeding from their incessant talking!
It's OK to have a Happy Meal night sometimes (a Happy Meal is anything in the kitchen that makes you happy!)
It's OK to nap – sometimes it's just a necessity.
It's OK to fight with your friends once in a while. If they are really your friends, they will value the relationship enough to come back afterwards.
It's OK to pull your kids up short if they are being disrespectful. I will NEVER let a child of mine call me names or speak rudely to me, I don't care how mad they are.
It's OK to turn your kids into reality show junkies. Then you've got someone to watch them with.
It's OK to take a mental health day from work as long as you don't do it too often.
I think I may need to have an It's OK post on my blog too. This is a great idea.
Great Post Toni!!!!
Its OK to keep your foot up after you got a shot in it to avoid surgery while everyone else is busy moving your stuff.
I think!!
