Very nice blog! I have been a stay at home mom for 12 years and I can totally relate to these sentiments. In fact, I came across this blog as I try to start one of my own to encourage women not to lose track of who they are as they advance in their journey. It is nice to see that the women are out there and that their ears are hungry to hear.

The journey is hard and sometimes long, but I agree with Lynn, "this won't last forever". Enjoy the journey and make sure you have very solid friends along the way. As I watch my youngest prepare to leave elementary school and my eldest go into her last year of middle school, the time is rolling pass — fast! My goal as I see the time rolling: to continue on to the end until God tells me to move a tick.

Thanks for listening! And thanks for giving!

Thank you for sharing this! I SO needed it today. My children and I are all sick, and have been all week…and I've been wallowing in self pity–feeling like I could just give up.

Thank you!

(smile) I am enjoying this site. I'm in my 40s and I can offer some support on this one. I've been where you are until recently. I lost my only child, (a son) after 27 yrs of caring for him. He was a quad and just one cool kid! I know it seems tough and it is- but keep in mind that this won't last forever. One day you will look back and realize it's over one way or another. It will be so worth it in the end. Your sacrifices today are what will bring you comfort tomorrow. Motherhood rocks!

Sarah Mae, I think we are so much alike in this way! I am always struggling with the self-entitlement and definitely don't like doing the hard things! I know that God will help me with these things and I will continue to ask Him to work in me.

Either you found what I was talking about, or I was entirely mistaken (or I'm presently unobservant). Anyway, that was not the point! I commented to compliment your post, not make you paranoid. ^_^

(Am I allowed to say that I COULDN'T WAIT for Ryan to whisk me away for my birthday dinner tonight because I knew I'd be having one – erm, two – glasses of amazing white wine after a day with two whiny-and-seemingly-constantly hungry-crawling-on-my-legs girls! Being a mommy is HARD I'll tell ya! So, your post was fantastic timing and you are in MY company at least! :) )

Sorry Sarah Mae, I forgot to link back here for the MMM post today. I really am not that good at actually taking a linky. Or whatever it is called and do whatever to the whatever. Thank you for reminding me. Love ya Sister. Looking forward to what the Lord is doing in all our lives!
