I have something to warn you about. This is the detritus I am faced with, created by an 18 year old boy.

Aww...sweetie...we all have days like that. I have a shiny door and a big job and some mornings when I am bustling about getting Graham to the babysitter I think I would give anything to snuggle with him on the couch and emrace the chaos of the house instead of heading off to work...such is life.

I’m going to have to ditto some of Kerrie’s post. My husband is the breadwinner, mortgage payer, etc but I still work weekends as a waitress. Why? Cuz it keeps me sane. I (not so) jokingly tell my customers that weekends are my “days off”. I’ve got one toddler that I love to pieces but dang do Monday-Fridays drag on. Throw in two partially trained dogs and three cats…guhh.

I think you’re in need of a high five. They always put me in a better mood.

The only way I get to “read” The New Yorker these days is to listen to the podcast. Thank goodness for Audible.com. It’s not the same, but it’s better than nothing!

"I knew motherhood would be mostly drudgery, interspersed with split seconds of blinding joy." Perfect. That sums it up perfectly. I know the restless feeling and you have put it into words so perfectly. One minute I am holding one in my arms and feeling my heart so full and the next they are fighting and whining and I just want to escape. I have a part-time job teaching kindergarten, but escaping to a room full of 26 more kids is not much of an escape. But still, there are adults there and if they don't behave, I can call their mothers instead of BE their mother. In the Fall I may return to being a stay-at-home mom because I will be laid-off on June 30. I will have a 3 year-old, a 5 year-old and a newborn in September. Although there are many wonderful things about staying home, there are also many things I dread. The isolation, the monotony, the feeling that I am never good enough... Thank you for giving words to the feelings that I am afraid to acknowledge. I think you speak for many of us. Janine’s last blog post..Who Knew?

Oh, I totally know that restless feeling. Not pleasant.

I knew there was drudgery, but it is still harder than I thought. It is hard to keep your eyes open for those blindingly wonderful moments some days. I think all mothers go through this. Perhaps it is like childbirth, and we forget it in a haze as we get older. I hope. Life in Eden’s last blog post..She’ll be comin’ round …

Get this album! http://cdbaby.com/cd/sister

One of my favorite songs when my children were little and I felt like I was in the thick of it, was “I asked for Rain”

I know it is hard to see right now, but it will get easier, or at least different. My kiddos are 10, 9 and 6 right now and it truly is easier than when they were 1, 3 and 4!
