I constantly have to remind myself of the "drops of awesomeness" (have you seen that article? If not google it, try and find it,) I have done that day. It's hard, and it's easy to beat yourself up. Especially when your kids aren't reassuring you that you're a good mom. It is exhausting! xoxoNikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601859467097427808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6848045446871088182.post-90373648502530972112013-04-19T17:18:54.792-07:002013-04-19T17:18:54.792-07:00I love this post.

I have so many days that seem like this day you described! I feel so much compassion to the woman I see with the toddler who is upset, or the woman who has that baby in her arms, while pushing a cart, while holding on to a 3 year old... cause I've been her. And it was even worse when Kallin was diagnosed Autistic, he was this little runner, he would just bolt away to some interesting thing... I'd be stuck reeling... running after him, with my other 2, and he'd cry and cry, cause he didn't understand.... <br />These are the Mommy moments. <br />And the endless laundry..... haha. <br />Love you! Youre an incredible mother! Dont forget it!

You didn't talk much at all. Loved this post and wish all you moms realized how incredible you truly are. I have no kids and there are days I spend in yoga pants and a t-shirt eating Oreos reading a guilty pleasure book. We all need to stop beating ourselves up.<br /><br /> "If I were Satan and wanted to destroy society, I think I would stage a full-blown blitz on its women. I would keep them so distraught and distracted that they would never find the calming strength and serenity for which their sex has always been known. He has effectively done that, catching us in the crunch of trying to be superhuman instead of realistically striving to reach our individual purpose and unique God-given potential within such diversity." -Patricia T. Holland, A Quiet Heart, p. 43.

Just to reassure you about Fisher's speech... I remember a little girl that didn't seem to want to learn to talk (mostly because her older sister and cousins would fulfill her every desire before she knew she desired it). I asked the older children not to get her anything until she asked for it. She started talking shortly thereafter (and some would say never quit;)). Keep up the good work, you're a wonderful mom and woman!Snyderemarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125987265802608467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6848045446871088182.post-83829872933160539932013-04-18T08:16:12.432-07:002013-04-18T08:16:12.432-07:00LOVE THIS!!

I don't know. I just think every mom is different and I don't worry, let alone care whst they're up to or how they're raising their kids. I agree, we are GREAT moms! Love ya. Hang in there. Hopefully that man of yours will be home soon! :Brittany:https://www.blogger.com/profile/00661069842112484806noreply@blogger.com
