Do you other moms ever feel that you spend countless minutes, maybe hours, putting the pacifier back in your newborn/baby's mouth? Or wiping up after your toddler for the hundreth time that day? Or changing yet ANOTHER diaper? Not that I am really "complaining" because I truly love being a mother and I love my girls. But what really gets me about being a mom is that you are never really "done" with your work, or that as soon as you accomplish one thing, it is off to the next! The minute Stella, my newborn, is asleep, don't you know it...Gracie is up or is involved in some dramatic situation needing my immediate attention. I am slowly realizing that being a mom of two is a whole different story. Again, it is greater than I ever expected, but also challenging and yesterday I found myself in the parenting section of Borders Bookstore. Currently I am in the state of survival and so I have been feeling as though there is something lacking in our families' lives. Everyone keeps telling me that this is just a phase and soon I will be on top of my game and we will be "thriving" instead of barely getting through the day. Anyone have any advice on this??? I guess I just want to do it all, and I am disappointed that I cannot...
The funny thing is...I am currently living at my mother-in-law's home as we are in transition with our lives since moving back to our home area, AND I am a full time stay at home mom for the minute. So not only do I have help, but I am also not juggling a job...yet. Funny how I actually have the nerve to write about all of this in my blog given my circumstances...but I guess I am just not as with it as many moms are. In early Sept. I begin teaching again, and so the serious juggling act will begin. Get ready for those posts....
On a positive note, the girls are healthy and happy and I just could not imagine a day in life without them! God is so good...
