Let me start out by saying: I LOVE BEING A MOM! But I think like every normal Mom, we all have 'those days'. I(along with my husband) have 4 kids, close together (all were born in under 4 years). Most think we're crazy, and maybe we are (and don't realize it). But if we had to do it all over, we'd do it the same way. Our oldest is 5 years, and the youngest is 15 months. Not always, but most days all 4 are the best of friends.
I'm goal is to make this blog my journal/vent space/etc. (So I don't spend all day venting on the phone, to people who really don't care, but gladly listen anyways! :) Don't except it to be updated daily. I may even make it private. I have a bad habit of caring too much about what others think, when in reality it doesn't really matter. There are 2 people that I want the approval of: My heavenly Father, and my husband. If I am pleasing to my Father, then I'm mostly likely going to gain my husband's approval as well, and hopefully everyone else's. If not, I'm starting to learn to not care, because it doesn't matter.
So be prepared to hear about the life of a mom raising 4 lil kids, while trying to keep house, and start down the road of homeschooling! It's bound to get interesting, so hang on tight.

ReplyDeleteI love to read mommy stories, too...and am glad to know I'm not the only one who has "those" kind of days!(Even with just my 2 kids to keep up with...can't imagine 4!);0) So, if you go private, please add me as well...and as far as caring what ppl think...I hear ya on that one! We can all work on that together!;0)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Heather! Add me to the list if you decide to go private, also!
ReplyDeleteAwww......Heather.....bless your heart! Not everyone is honest enough to admit to having rough days! You have 4 precious little ones, and I love watching them grow....I have the advantage of having watched you grow and so many things remind me of you....now, not the parts that frustrate you, tho!!! Some pics of your girls, expecially Katie, where I can hear your husky little laugh you had at her age! There will be days (which you have already found out, I'm sure!) where you will wonder why you signed on for this job, but,from what I am seeing, you are doing a wonderful job of being a mom. And add me as well should you decide to go private! :)
ReplyDeletehaha....let me edit that part about Katie, she reminds me of you at that age!!!
