You're all amazing mothers & I'll bet it's difficult but you guys are all doing great jobs.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16030856522686634738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836679125140832306.post-91241686291578053232010-08-25T21:05:58.630-07:002010-08-25T21:05:58.630-07:00Yeah, I'm really feeling the no-more-babies vi...Yeah, I'm really feeling the no-more-babies vibe. Of course, I have alot of years left that we could have more. But unless we are living in some magical land with tons of family support and opportunities for me to be away from the babies? No. I'm stretched so thin with two, I don't want to add another, AND go through all "omg I'm trapped within 2hrs of this nursing baby FOREVER" year+ again. Ray is suddenly VERY three and that is not helping matters at all. We need to hang sometime!Stassjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04623711930452942817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836679125140832306.post-91272411927548420242010-08-25T13:36:48.018-07:002010-08-25T13:36:48.018-07:00@Stassja- lol....I looked into homeschool too and ...@Stassja- lol....I looked into homeschool too and then realized, "You mean they're here with me all the time? Like 24/7?" No, thanks. <br />This age that my son is at has solidified our decision to not have any more children. We're not having a third for my sanity. <br /><br />@Laurie- Yes, it being hot adds to the tension. BTW, I had time in between clients and went for a run. It helped :) <br /><br />@Stephanie- thanks!! I know truthfully I'm not a terrible mother, but my gremlin likes to throttle me with the notion.

You are a...No-one has it all together all the time. You are a wonderful mother. You are in your children's lives, you provide them with a secure family unit. You are showing them by example that it is important to take care of their mind and body. I personally know SEVERAL mother's that deserve the "Worst Mom Ever" title, and you do not come anywhere near challenging them for the title of worst!<br /><br />I think we all have at least a day or week here or there that feels off and we question whether the way we're dong things is "right". I think these moments can help remind us that no matter who you are or what stage you are in, there is always room to make things better. It's also a great time to remind ourselves of what we are doing right for our kids!stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12054953721234366265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836679125140832306.post-14229183064988267242010-08-25T12:33:30.157-07:002010-08-25T12:33:30.157-07:00Yeah, having one of those moments myself right now...Yeah, having one of those moments myself right now! Just sent overwhelmed, tantruming 8 year old upstairs for a rest because I am OUT of behavior modification ideas. I am still nursing the wound on my toddler's face from being a foot away and not catching her as she skidded onto the ground at the park this morning. And it's hot and I hot makes me want to yell too. So there. I guess we're both the worst mother in the world. At least you have company :)Laurie Wallinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353661578088762249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836679125140832306.post-74461911845857213552010-08-25T12:02:16.568-07:002010-08-25T12:02:16.568-07:00*Waves* Hanging with you here at rock bottom in Wo...*Waves* Hanging with you here at rock bottom in Worst-Mom-Ever Land. The homeschooling activist/enthusiast, who once dreamed of picking out curriculum, is scouring the internet for preschools and shouting GET THEM OUT OF MY HAIR BEFORE I EXPLODE. <br /><br />*hugs* This age spacing is hell. I feel terrible because while I don't regret my sweet, lovely Dori, I regret rushing into having him. WHhyyyyyy did we not wait. Did we know that I would be here losing my marbles? That it would nearly obliterate our marriage? Were we nuts? <br /><br />Here's to making it through to the other side!Stassjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04623711930452942817noreply@blogger.com
