I was way more behind than I thought. I don't know if you will even read this comment - or if they get sent to your email like mine do. But any who, I just wanted to thank you for this post. I was having this exact pity party a couple of days ago. And I think it is okay to be frustrated and down every once and a while - we are human...if if sometimes I don't think you are with all of your crazy talents. And it is good to express it. I think sometimes we all try to hard to be perfect so that when we have the down moments we think we are alone. But as you can tell from all these other comments - it is normal. Thanks for sharing Kell. You are a great mom.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03721636291269235310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311865465154061775.post-14728282125063774162011-03-30T19:36:07.180-07:002011-03-30T19:36:07.180-07:00Oh honey I hear ya!

He said what would you do? I said, "Enjoy the silence!" He (Rowan) has been such a pill lately, and it is frustrating me like mad! I really feel for you moms who have more than one driving ya crazy! I hope you are feeling better. And what is this I hear about Craig joining the air force?!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10361489877368686625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311865465154061775.post-33212275559951155872011-03-26T21:46:17.643-07:002011-03-26T21:46:17.643-07:00I have those days too!

I had the SAME EXACT conversation with my friend in Vegas about this....WITH our husbands present and we had a "discussion." pretty much it came down to : Boys just dont get it. Men and women are super different. They will never get it. Haha. I have been feeling like I have to do EVERYTHING and I havent done much for me. I dont know who I am besides "mom" ..literally havent done any hobbies I love FOREVER. BUT I wouldnt want to be back at work (ok sometimes I do, but ultimately, not) and its the best when Becca does something for the first time or when I see my kids playing and laughing together. Its hard. Being a mom is HARD WORK. No one will undertand besides the Mothers in the world :) YOU ARE AMAZING. dont forget it. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17062431983582780712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311865465154061775.post-59265523439712448442011-03-22T17:40:24.901-07:002011-03-22T17:40:24.901-07:00P.S.

Our husbands do work very hard to support us & everything but I do feel that we have it harder! I would like to run away sometimes too or just hid. But we do need to remember that we are important too & what we are doing is making a difference (even if we don't feel like it is). You posted it very well & it is okay to vent every now & then we all need to!The Razzle Dazzle Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05081206665947736369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311865465154061775.post-78330872377769086352011-03-22T07:05:28.393-07:002011-03-22T07:05:28.393-07:00Aww...Kel!!!

It's hard to say anything right n...You know.... It's hard to say anything right now to change how you feel...<br />But still, there's something I've got to say... There was a period in my life when I felt a lot like that... <br />For like a year I had to bring up my 'lil sis alone... It was suuuuuuuuper tiring... You know kids are not the same with their moms and their siblings...I was in despair... I broke into tears a few times cuz i couldn't stand it anymore.... I felt like I was a single parent.... And I really wanted to have some time just for myself....<br />But you know what... Every time when she fell asleep I lied down next to her and watch her... watched her little face and how she smacked her lips in her sleep... And for me that was like the best thing in the world.... Something that would give me strength to keep going ... I don't know why.... It just could stop all the anger and tiredness in no time... I guess when i have my own babies I'll be a creeper not sleeping and watching them in their sleep =))))))))))))<br />But you know.... Anyway there's no way for you just not to do all that stuff....All you have left I guess is just to take that fact and turn it into smth enjoyable =)))) You know.. change the attitude and stuff.... And I'm pretty sure that it won't be so hard for you cuz you're definitely a much more positive and optimistic person than I am =))) All I can say for now.... is be strong!!! Hold on!!! I'm a million % sure you can do it!!! Good luck!! =))Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12636688453506883765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311865465154061775.post-90691018991035024132011-03-21T20:53:36.746-07:002011-03-21T20:53:36.746-07:00I know exactly how you feel!!

I keep wondering when I'll get some "me" time! <br />There was a part from Elder Christofferson's talk from October conference "Reflections on a Consecrated Life" that helps me sometimes - the part that talks about menial and repetitive tasks bringing order and sustaining life that made me think of young stay-at-home moms. It's still hard, but some days it helps when I remember what he said about it.:) Hang in there.<br /><br />http://lds.org/general-conference/2010/10/reflections-on-a-consecrated-life?lang=engKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06646822495494240307noreply@blogger.com
