I'll bookmark it to return to again. Whether we're SAHM or working moms, we want the same thing--to just raise our children to be the best they can, find and follow their dreams and stay safe. <br /><br />Great blog!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315889411739850060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860864.post-1104856411888413682005-01-04T10:33:00.000-06:002005-01-04T10:33:00.000-06:00Aww, she!

Like that email thing that gets passed around where the older mother takes her younger, pregnant daughter out for lunch and says "It will change your life" and the daughter laughs and says, "Oh I know, mom - no more spontaneous nights out, no more frivolously spending money", etc. Well yes, that, but there's so much more. You go from being Number One in your life to putting someone else first, just like that. You would lay down your life for a person that you have just barely met. And you do things like I did last night.. holding the barf bucket for hours on end and getting no sleep at all. It sounds so cliche, LOL.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095231419193823242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860864.post-1104814391411716462005-01-03T22:53:00.000-06:002005-01-03T22:53:00.000-06:00well as a mommy on both sides of the fence as of t...well as a mommy on both sides of the fence as of tomorrow (return to work day - boo!!!) I second that being a SAHM is exhausting and really really hard work. In fact, my holi, it was you that said to me YEARS ago, after Darien was wee, that being a mom was the hardest thing you'd ever done. I didn't believe you (well, sorta like when a parent says to a pregnant person "having a child will change your life!" and the pregnant person thinks - oh, sure. Not me. I mean, it will be different, but not life changing. Its life changing. Its hard. The hardest. No one understands unless they've done it. And its just a reminder I have to listen to you more :)<br /><br />*snog* love you.Sherocioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094225749682260345noreply@blogger.com
