But when I get leads, I have to admit, I'm not really willing to give all of this up, even when I'm at the end of that rope myself. But a girl can dream about all the grass, right? Anyway, glad you're content with your decision, it sure is a struggle no matter which side of the fence we women are on! <BR/>:)Christie O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16119774914469200174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621618340560289857.post-79143695941460122402009-02-22T21:00:00.000-06:002009-02-22T21:00:00.000-06:00I love your honesty and authenticity!...And the ne...I love your honesty and authenticity!<BR/><BR/>...And the new header looks awesome!Sab Madhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06259777993441870276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621618340560289857.post-13263808120392263502009-02-22T20:29:00.000-06:002009-02-22T20:29:00.000-06:00You know I am right there with you.The grass alway...You know I am right there with you.<BR/><BR/>The grass always looks greener and never is.

I'm low on patience myself and wish I could've seen how difficult motherhood is too. Maybe I would've realized I'm not as fit to be a mother like I thought I was. But God brought her into my world for a reason. Maybe it was to teach me patience.bevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020226301555479470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621618340560289857.post-10804641197117001702009-02-22T19:40:00.000-06:002009-02-22T19:40:00.000-06:00I love you, Jessi.

Yes, being a mom is the hardest job in the world hands down! You are doing a great job and like you, I have found that how I feel relies so much on my own attitude and when I let Satan get to me by making me feel like a horrible mom and that I am not "good enough" and I should do EVERYTHING BETTER, I count my blessings. My Father in Heaven, husband and kids are always at the top. You are a daughter of God and you are doing one of the greatest works there is to do! Hang in there! "Mama said there'd be days like this." I, like you, have weeks like this.Colin & Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467459886038171303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621618340560289857.post-35837282971603473592009-02-20T21:40:00.000-06:002009-02-20T21:40:00.000-06:00I constantly wonder the what-if's too.

There have been a few times since I started staying home last May that I was online looking for jobs (usually while sobbing and telling myself I'm a horrible mom). Just this week we started getting out of the house more and it has really helped. It's amazing how much staying home all the time starts wearing on everyone. So many of the things you mentioned have gone through my mind. I have been at the point where I didn't know if I could continue staying home with them yet the thought of going back to work broke my heart and didn't seem like a possibility either. But ultimately I always get back to the point of knowing I'm in the right place for my family! Thanks for sharing your insight on this topic! It's always good to hear that others struggle with the same things.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397096237322712753noreply@blogger.com
