I know that's what my mom did and my sister and they both saw wonderful results~she gets out and learns new thing and gets stimulated in different ways, and meets new people, and you get a little break~anyways just a suggestion.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14511100200688392137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5466237631168617353.post-8251073438221863612008-06-24T19:30:00.000-07:002008-06-24T19:30:00.000-07:00That is so cute that you and Kirye went on a littl...That is so cute that you and Kirye went on a little "date" together. Being a mom is VERY hard. I feel so guilty when I am frustrated with Addy, thinking I am such a horrible mom, but then I think (hope) that all moms go through this. There are bad days and there are good days. Your kids are adorable and you are doing a GREAT job! Once again, I love that you vent...you tell it like it is.Leah and Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04656166937951894106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5466237631168617353.post-26762775412489444362008-06-24T16:47:00.000-07:002008-06-24T16:47:00.000-07:00Oh, I long for those days of 9 months old and no, ...Oh, I long for those days of 9 months old and no, "No, mom, that's so rude!" LOL I seem to have even less patience these days than when I taught a classroom for 28 2nd graders and I get so frustrated with myself. I'm glad I'm not alone. And I second the motion for a pedicure! Oh! And a starbucks tip I learned from a friend - get your drink w/o whip and order it light. It cuts the fat and sugar dramatically!Kyla Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16854136388079036385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5466237631168617353.post-16173075027907166362008-06-24T15:18:00.000-07:002008-06-24T15:18:00.000-07:00Some days, i totally wish i were back at work bein...Some days, i totally wish i were back at work being screamed and cussed at by the mortgage brokers that i used to deal with plus receiving over 300 emails a day asking about their files. that was so much easier than being a stay home mom. a lot of people say that being a stay home mom is easy and that we're so "lucky".. they think that all we do is sit and watch soap operas and veg out but the truth is that you're working 24 hours a day (hard). even when you sleep, you're working because you're listening for any noises coming from your kids room. also, when you stay home all day with kids, there is so much more to be done because they mess up the house constantly. if you dropped them off at day care while you went to work, they would only have a couple of hours a night to mess up the house and that would be much easier to keep up. no one would be home during the day to get into things. however, i do think the kids are "lucky" that their mom is able to to stay home. my mom wasn't able to since she was a single mother and i was off at day care all day. i think that's it's better for the kids if you stay home because they get the one on one attention that they need. but it is much harder on the mom because you don't get a lot of adult interaction and it wears you out most days. that's why it's so important for date nights with hubby's and girl/alone time for yourself. just a trip to the grocery store without the kids can be a real treat. sad, but true. also, sometimes when your husband gets home, you want to talk with him and interact and he just wants to veg out after working all day so that can be hard too. it is a blessing to be able to stay home, but it is also a challenge as well. some days are good and some days are bad just like working a "real" job. the only difference is that you don't get to go home and veg out at the end of the day. you never get to leave work! it's always there.Coryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03937486364367450861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5466237631168617353.post-68449365084547104002008-06-24T13:07:00.000-07:002008-06-24T13:07:00.000-07:00I think no matter what, there are going to be days...I think no matter what, there are going to be days where it is hard, hard, hard, and no amount of positive thinking will change that. I think you are awesome and I hope you feel like you can vent any time.

T...Being a mom may be hard, but it is so worth it. Try to find something everyday that you can be grateful for and your eyes will start to focus on that instead of how hard it is. Children are precious and they grow up way too fast, you will wonder where their childhood went if you only look at the how it is a struggle. Some people look at you with envy because they want children but can't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
