I know It's been awhile since I have blogged, it's just that FB has just taken over. I just seen this really good post that McKmama posted and it got me to thinking about things. I have been so stinking ornery lately, I don't know what is wrong with me, I honestly just feel like...like..giving up. I try to be nice but things are just so overwhelming to me. I feel like I clean and do laundry all day trying to make everything nice, then the kids get home and back packs and coats go flying, dinner needs to be made, homework done, basketball practice attended, scouts conquered, piano and guitar practicing supervised, scriptures need reading, family home evening needs to be done, husband needs some attention too. Does any one else feel strung out sometimes? I feel like I can't possibly be pulled any more ways. There is not a moments peace until 10:00 when everyone is taken care of and in bed. When do I get taken care of? Well, I guess us Moms don't. Oh I'm not complaining that no one cares just that it is alot on one plate. Clint does a Fabulous job of meeting my needs, he totally takes care of me...I guess what I'm trying to say is that I am just exhausted sometimes. I am trying to paint Landyn's and Austyn's rooms downstairs and that is stressing me out too. And gaining 10 pounds since November definitely does not help, I get so ornery when that happens, I am back on my diet.
Anyway, whoosh...that was alot of complaining, I had to talk to someone. But I was all feeling sorry for myself last night and I read THIS POST and realized that it is so true, I know I am going to miss this, sometimes I just need to be reminded of these things in my life. Hopefully I can stop being such a baby and just get on with things huh! Make sure you read her article that is titled "I'm gonna miss this"

Stef,
THAT was just what I needed to read! Seriously. Dito to everything you just said, and I am now adding that McKmama blog to my favorites list. Seriously inspired to write that, and i am now walking away from a much needed "bawling session" with a resolve to cherish the moments I have with my family NOW before for I MISS THIS. thanks!!
I'm glad it's not just me Janice, I love Mckmama, she is so blunt and honest about everything and has a lot of good things to say. I am going to change. I don't want to look back and have regrets.
Steph - you are a great mom! Thank you for sharing that article! I obviously don't have a kid yet...soon though! I hope I can remember that when I seem to be thinking other thoughts of "why did I do this to myself...." Thanks!
First of all, it was a good thing I was sitting down, I can't believe you found your blog again (Ha!Ha!) You know you can always come cry on my shoulder and remember I told you I would keep your kids if you need to get things accomplished. I think ALL mom's go through this, but it will soon pass. Take a deep breath and remember what's important. Your laundry will always be there tomorrow, but the time to make memories with your little one will not. Love ya!!!
I'm glad you were sitting down Emilee, HAHA, That made me laugh. I may take you up on the kid thing, I still need to get the boys rooms cleaned out and organized.
