This post will scream validate me as a good mom....just wait 
I had the worst mommy day today. Dh is out of town (actually on a different continent), so it is me and the 3 dependants for 2+weeks. I got this handled right???? Nope
#1.....
I bought baby food in the plastic containers to keep in the car for 'emergencies' like suddenly staying at the inlaws for dinner. (I make my own baby food for DD) They have 2 year old open rice cereal they try to push on her....uh NO. So I pack the 4 of them (pears, peaches, apricots & prunes) in a bag with a bib, spoons and some ziplocks. I am SO on top of this. Then I see this : Apricot DESSERT (I am eating this now...not bad half frozen :LOL) I ASSumed that when it said 6 months, it didn't have sugar in it.
#2....
Ddog has a flea allergy. BAD. As in she is chewing her hind end off. I thought it was the heat....vet says fleas. The pill isn't working so we have to go to the topical pesticide. Fleas are really bad in this area and she has a terrible allergy. The cortizone shot helped alot. Well today I dragged the kids up to a family BBQ an hour away. I didn't want to deal with the dog so I left her at home. In order for her not to chew, I had to 'cone' her (those dang elizabethan collars). Supposedly, they can eat and drink with them on. Not my dog. 30+degrees C (90F) in the house when I got home 5 hours later, take off the cone and she sucks back 2 large dog dishes of water. My poor baby
#3.....
I am hot....dang hot. DD is hot...dang hot. She is only wearing a diaper (with a wool jersey cover). She wants to nurse, but is doing that annoying suck suck POP, suck suck POP....which hurts as she just got teeth so it feels like I nurse a parahhna. So I get MAD and raise my voice and tell her to either NURSE or NOT. She starts to cry, but latches on and nurses for a while. I then go change her.....she is POOPY. NO wonder she didn't want to nurse. Dang.

I am trying to fix dinner. DD is on the couch playing and DS is playing with her. DD starts screaming, I assume DS did something, like pile toys on her head, which she hates, see toys piled on her....YELL at DS. He runs off crying, I pick up DD, who belches like a beer drinker, and is happy again. Fudge.
#5....
On the hwy to family BBQ. I don't want to go. DD is crying in the carseat because she is very tired (if DH is driving, DD will suck on my finger to sleep.....kinda hard from the divers seat doing 110km/h). DS looks miserable as he is missing nap. I ask him "would you rather have stayed home?" he says...."yeah". Great. (he can't elaborate...he is pretty non-verbal).
I know I am a good mom, but today....maaaaann I want to turn in my membership card.
please tell me y'all have days like this. Please.
