While you are in it you feel like you are overwhelmed, but being older and looking back, you would trade just about anything for a day spent rocking a baby or playing with a two year old. Everything else just doesn't really matter...except of course spending quality time with the man you love! Laundry and stuff will always be there. Love You, You are an incredible person!!!!!!!!lany and brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05461388328729513819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373938982478634304.post-30897183905580413642010-02-13T12:21:59.133-08:002010-02-13T12:21:59.133-08:00Jenny, I can totally relate, I feel even if I spen...Jenny, I can totally relate, I feel even if I spent ALL my time trying to just do bare minimum, I still don't get it done. I've been TOTALLY overwhelmed by 4. It's getting better as Megann gets older, but still. I have to remind myself EVERY day of what REALLY matters, but it still bothers me that all the other things aren't done, etc. I think a lot of it has to do with having a baby to take care of. Hang in there for a while. MUAH! but really, I think ALL mom's feel that way.Hmachinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08984916628910893721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373938982478634304.post-65589103816275728072010-02-13T07:08:22.467-08:002010-02-13T07:08:22.467-08:00You guys are awesome!!!

H...Jenny - I can really relate to this post too!!! Hang in there. I remember feeling particularly rough after that second baby because you are just stretched so thin. Get sleep and focus on the little ones. The other things can and will wait. You will be back to utilizing your talents soon, but these first few months you may just have to let a few things go. I remember feeling like I would be able to get so much more done if I just had TWO hands free occasionally ;) Hang in there, Girl!!!Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02389035252779800439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373938982478634304.post-9335195165372884582010-02-12T10:21:14.617-08:002010-02-12T10:21:14.617-08:00Okay..so you can just put "Tara" at the ...Okay..so you can just put "Tara" at the end of that post. Yup, I feel the EXACT same way. It is human nature to feel those feelings. I do better at times than others. The one thing I do that helps is try and pick a small thing to improve on at a time (I will bake cookies this week instead of buying them) and accomplish that instead of trying to pull off a huge thing (I will only feed my family organic, vegetarian food, bake my own bread from wheat that I have ground myself, and they will LOVE it). Oh...and just keep reminding yourself about how great you really are and how good you really have it as you did in the post...because you are and you do!<br />~TaraTarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05361156266769772312noreply@blogger.com
