I had an easy day today, but last Thursday, this would have had me sobbing on the floor. Thank you. |

Re: Hey There Little Mama...(a letter of encouragement)
I have been a mom for a decade - actually closer to 11 years - and have been on GCM for most of them. Yet today was a day that TO THE DETAIL was very much like the one you described with the right age kids matching that behavior. I am so exhausted I am delerious and I am staring down the barrel of a bad week that I cannot avoin and most just trudge through. Your words have been a balm to my soul, and I thank you for that, my friend.

Re: Hey There Little Mama...(a letter of encouragement)
Well.
Well. I was getting on here to start a thread titled "feeling like a failure". Before hitting "new post" I thought, "hmmm...has that sticky always been here?". Glad I read it first. It has been rough around here lately. Today was rough x10. Tomorrow is scheduled to be crazy, including hosting company (ahem...apparently you've seen my house) and also happens to be my son's fifth birthday. Today I yelled. I was yelled at. I felt very angry towards my baby for being so needy and for not sleeping. I felt guilty for feeling angry. I walked into a neighbor's home that looks like a magazine spread (totally spotless, perfectly decorated...and she had two young boys). Then I walked back into my home (you described it well) and made a dinner that my children refused to eat. I'm even now feeling like a bad mom because I don't get the quivering lip and apology from my child when I'm upset with him. He clams up and gets mad. (Gah! I can't even be encouraged without beating myself up for not having it all figured out. ) I'm so weary. And still crying. Thank you for those timely words. I will read them again and again. ETA: while writing this I burned the birthday breakfast muffins because I though I'd set the timer, but had not. It is just not my week.

Re: Hey There Little Mama...(a letter of encouragement)
I only have one, I'm an INTJ, and I'm in total tears. I am NOT going to blame pregnancy hormones. That's not it. This was just incredibly beautiful!!

Re: Hey There Little Mama...(a letter of encouragement)
I posted it on my FB page, for those who wanted to share from there.
---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ---------- INFJs are good at that, I hear. I feel you. I don't cry often, either. Last edited by Aisling; 07-19-2012 at 09:27 AM. |
