I am typing through tears. Thank you for putting into words all of my "this isn't how I imagined it" feelings. It is nice to be reminded that even if the day-to-day of motherhood isn't exactly how we fantasized, it is OK. Motherhood is a cumulative experience that has just as many unexpected blessings as it does unexpected difficulties. At the end of the day if my kids feel loved and secure than I should stop beating myself up about all the "should haves" and just embrace and find joy in all that mothering has to offer! I will be adding your blog to my list of "regulars". Thanks again for reassuring me that these mothering insecurities are not only common but unproductive:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18321256.post-44013456122670055182010-01-23T04:45:30.365-05:002010-01-23T04:45:30.365-05:00I am so grateful for some time here in Kuwait to a...I am so grateful for some time here in Kuwait to actually read this incredible post in detail. How fun to read and feel that I really know what's happening at your house, even when we're not there. But also it will be a treasure in years to come when you look back on those years with fondness and longing! Sure love you! <br />MomLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00082310018885505399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18321256.post-67534679579153035222010-01-22T22:59:19.871-05:002010-01-22T22:59:19.871-05:00Oh, how I miss the Shumways!
