It isn't that it wouldn't bless my family, it's just that while doing it, it would be more time spent doing something other than spending time with my kids and I'd be standing there in the kitchen making dinner or cookies for someone or something and my kids would be fighting or begging me to help Indiana Jones get to the next level. I'd just keep being frustrated. I'm sure there would be eventual blessings that I'd be grateful for though.<br /><br />Cicely, I'm so grateful that someone really is perfect :) Now when I'm frustrated I can just think, What would Cicely do?Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01078158663459610289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871495442342879338.post-12580510890145222362011-03-08T19:18:39.579-05:002011-03-08T19:18:39.579-05:00Every mom feels like this.

Usually someone has to drag me out of my hole and remind me I am doing something well. I'm right there with you today. Just from your previous post I know you're doing great.<br />And I want to know whats up with serving someone else and it cursing your family insted of blessing. I don't know. Guess I'm all about blessings for the receiver and the giver.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871495442342879338.post-59365488544318006392011-03-08T16:17:41.130-05:002011-03-08T16:17:41.130-05:00It's not.

You do the best you can each day and hope that they get something good out of it. <br /><br />I took a Love and Logic "class" about a month ago, and read this really great book: Love and Logic Magic for Early Childhood. (which I am purchasing) It's amazing!! It's been working wonders for Danny and me with our kids. I suggest you check it out!Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12739129475123988772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871495442342879338.post-54213056592995695542011-03-08T14:18:45.446-05:002011-03-08T14:18:45.446-05:00I have been having these same thoughts run through...I have been having these same thoughts run through my head so much the last few days. Just feel like I'm not measuring up. It was comforting to see I'm not the only one. In fact, I know many moms feels this way. To be the perfect mom in all things all the time doesn't seem possible, because we have kids throwing us curve balls everyday. My hang up comes when I compare with what other moms do. Yourself included, since you always go on fun outings as a family, your kids are geniuses and you sew. How do you do it? Anyway, my point being. You're an amazing mom. I hope that amidst the doubt you can recognize that too. Lots of love. Just remember, there's a mom in Utah that is thinking the same thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
