I th...I agree with Deanna...we all get into a funk. I think it is difficult as working mothers to feel like we are spending enough time with our kids and are able to be the mom we want to be. I only have one kiddo and I still get stressed out and feel the same way. I don't have much advice, but just know you aren't alone. :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08966102052786673833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33601844.post-52662408445773003302008-11-18T14:14:00.000-05:002008-11-18T14:14:00.000-05:00I think we all get caught up in thinking we have t...I think we all get caught up in thinking we have to be perfect mothers every minute of every single day of our childrens' lives. We are all overwhelmed and get "funky" sometimes. There are some days that even as a stay-at-home mom, I feel like I've let my kids down or neglected to be the kind of mom I wanted to be.<BR/><BR/>On those days that I have disappointed myself by thinking I've disappointed my children, I try to remind myself that when they are hurt/sick/tired/hungry/in need of snuggles, it's ME they turn to. They know that they can count on me--and THAT is the mark of a good mom. <BR/> <BR/>Be encouraged that in your childrens' eyes, you're tops! When you start seeing yourself through their eyes, you'll see one SUPER, AMAZING mom!!!Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04151945097262211810noreply@blogger.com
