I'm taking Dawn's tag, and passing it on.

The meme is to write 3 things I do right as a mom.

1. I accept my kids as the neat little individuals they are, and try to remember the positive aspects of whatever quirk is making me crazy. 
   
2. I'm not neurotic about food, and so far they don't seem to be either.
3. I don't worry (much) about what other people think of my parenting choices, I just do what dh and I think is best for our kids at the moment, and let the rest of the world react in whatever way they choose. 
   

I do lots and lots of things wrong, but my kids seem to be doing ok despite me!

1. The rules of the game get posted on the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about himself.
3. At the end of the post, the player tags five people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they’ve been tagged and asking them to read their blog.
