Thank you for your kindness an...Heather and Sharon,<br />Thank you for your kindness and encouragement. Deep down, I know my girls see through the filter of immaturity. But I also see through my own filter of the past. Just sorting it all out through my words. :)<br /><br />Jenny,<br />It's such an internal struggle, isn't it? Even though I'm home and available to them 24/7, there's just something that doesn't feel successful about cleaning, cooking, and being at the school. On the other hand, I'm sure I'd feel the struggle if I worked...just like you. Maybe it's part of the role of being a mom.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904636783147261812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408012021549826607.post-6134160209693162412012-02-06T11:35:44.107-06:002012-02-06T11:35:44.107-06:00As someone who was a stay at home mom for the firs...As someone who was a stay at home mom for the first 7 years of my daughter's life and now have gone back to work. I feel like a failure every day that I don't get to pick her up from school or when I can't make it to have lunch with her as often as I did when I stayed home. How I can't be the room mom now. Yes I feel successful at the job I am at now, but nothing like when I was there for every minute of her life. Even if they don't see it now, looking back when they are older, they will see it!Jenny Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10141071533713342687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408012021549826607.post-82058025498363051522012-02-05T23:06:20.871-06:002012-02-05T23:06:20.871-06:00You are very successful, your blog is a blessing, ...You are very successful, your blog is a blessing, I would miss it if it was gone. Children are just children, she doesn't see the whole picture of 'who you are' or 'what you do' she sees you 'cleaning'. That is not about YOU that is about her ability to SEE clearly because of her maturity.<br />Hang in there you are doing Great.Thoughts for the dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07166340365607117445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408012021549826607.post-12565365674682189032012-02-05T21:57:00.959-06:002012-02-05T21:57:00.959-06:00Out of the mouths of babes...isn't that how th...Out of the mouths of babes...isn't that how the old saying goes? The problem with being a successful mom is that your children don't realize it until they have children of their own and husbands know you are but they're men, so they don't verbalize it. So that only leaves you yourself or your friends. You can't believe what you tell yourself because, after all, what would life be without self-doubt? So listen to your friends...You are successful as a mom and a woman because of all the little things you do that up to one big thing...a loving, happy family. <br /><br />So run and finish your 1/2 marathon (I know you can do it and will be send good thoughts your way) and your daughters will cheer your "success" but know if your heart that your friends and God see your everyday, boring successes and we are cheering those. :-)Heathernoreply@blogger.com
