On Being a Mommythoughts inspired by my daughters July 24 Crazy kids!My kids are nuts. Just so you know: my kids are nuts. At least the little one is.
Terrible 2's, my eye!! This kid's been 3 for a couple of months, and she just gets crazier every day. This new thing she does where she wants to run through parking lots is just scary! What is WITH her?! And then she laughs about it! Like driving Mommy to a nervous breakdown is something to giggle about. I have to hold on to that child's hand like... well, I don't know like what, but tight!
They're not called nervous breakdowns anymore, are they? Well, whatever they're called, I'm headed right for one. Sigh.
I don't think that I'll ever figure out this mommyhood thing! Is there a single correct way to deal with the insanity and chaos that children bring? Now what am I supposed to do with a 3-year-old who thinks that running away from Mommy in a parking lot is a fun game? I've explained the dangers repeatedly, I've yelled, I've begged.... do I keep her in a stroller at all times?
I think I'm gonna have to put my kid on a leash. June 16 boredI need to do something fun this weekend. You hear so much about how we spend all our time taking care of everyone else and don't spend any time on ourselves... and about how important it is to take time for yourself. Blah, blah, blah. Who has that kind of time?
On the other hand, I think I need to go out to the movies with friends... or something. Anything, as long as it's without the kids. I'm not entirely sure why. I mean, they're being good, so it isn't that. Maybe I just need some grown-up time. And it's so sad that even when we moms get together, all we talk about are the kids.
Who knew that being a mom would be so all-consuming? I mean, I knew that once I had kids my whole world would revolve around them. But I had no idea that once I had kids, my whole world would revolve around them. :) April 27 Why women don't always tell the whole truthfrom an email i got... One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, 'My dear child, why are you crying?' The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family. The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble set with sapphires. The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a golden thimble studded with rubies. The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble. The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy. Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water. When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, 'Why are you crying?' 'Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!' And so the Lord let her keep him.
