So, we all know that motherhood isn't easy. Or should i say Parenthood in general? I guess i'm talking more about stay-at-home-mommy hood. Although I do work outside my house for 12 hours a week, those 12 hours, i still have this little one with me:
and if you don't know from personal experience, you probably know from reading my blog, and my honesty in telling you that it isn't always fun nor easy.
Saturday I went to a little mom's valentines day party. It was awesome. I was so refreshed to be with other women who were married with kids. The best part is that there were NO kids!! (heavenly!) As i got to talking to all of them, some of the same things i have been feeling were coming out of their mouths, and i mean VERBATIM. I'm learning that i'm not alone in this. Though i sometimes feel alone, it's nice to know i'm not.
I'm learning that i've GOT to cherish the moment i'm in. Currently, i HATE HATE HATE not being able to sleep full nights. I feel drained every day. (i'm sure it doesn't help ive been eating like crap and not working out...but we'll skip that talk for now...ick)
Anyways, i'm trying hard to remember that when I wake up a bazillion times for Cora and a few for Owen too, that it won't always be this way. Some people never know the joy of Children, but i complain about waking up for mine.
Just learning :)

This brought me encouragement! Thank you, Lauren!
I love you Lauren! I do remember that exhaustion! Dan always said I should write a book, because such funny things would happen in the midst of all of the craziness, but I never did it,so of course I've forgotten so much :( Try at the end of each day to find something each of them did that was cute or that made you smile and write it down. It will help you look back at the end of a bad week or two and you and Mark can laugh togheter, and later share it with Owen and Cora. I promise, the good times will come! Hugs <3
