I thought I could do it all, mother, wife, lawyer and I realized I couldn’t. I thought motherhood was something I could manage. I was so wrong.

There’s nothing that you can do and nobody can tell you how hard it really is to get you prepared for it.

I love this post…I’m including it in my favorite posts I found this week (I post it on Saturday) 🙂

No, I was not prepared, completely unrealistic notions and I didn’t listen to those who tried to warn me.

And no one better step on my heart!

Perfect post, Missy.

I wanted to be everything my parents weren’t. It was tough realizing that parenting is a lit harder than I anticipated…lot harder. And it was hard not being able to live up to my perfectionistic ideals. It has taken
Me a while to learn to be just good enough, but to give my son all the love I can possibly give.
Great piece!!

Like a piece of your heart, walking around with a will of it’s own.

Ouch.

Anytime my kiddo experiences let down, defeat, failure….it is painful. We just had sickies- super, duper sick kiddo- and seeing him suffer, cry as he laid there, moan because it “all hurt”…sigh…and I couldn’t make it better. How about that one…when mama CAN’t fix it. That’s a tough one to swallow.
