I have two little ones...I so understand this post. I have two little ones 34 months and 18 months old. They are the biggest blessings and miracles ever given to me and my husband. There are days I feel like Super Mom, multi-tasking with the best of them, shoveling out love, direction, discipline, etc. <br /><br />There are days I feel less than adequate as a mom, wife and woman...I could crawl into a hole and cry all day long. ALL mom's find themselves trying to balance all the plates in the air without letting one fall. Sometimes taking a step back and holding your babies and hubby tight is the best balance you can give to them and most importantly...to yourself. Going from 0 to 4 kids at one time will take it's toll. A toll that most of us cannot comprehend. Give yourself permission to let the dishes go or let the laundry slide every once in a while. Being a perfect parent is a punishment I sometimes put on myself, but is not realistic for any of us. <br /><br />Keep your chin up and keep your eyes and heart focused on the one that never gives you more than you can handle. I'll keep you in my prayers for you to find that balance and solace as you journey through the waters of motherhood. You were chosen for a reason to care and love on your babies. Give yourself a pat on the back every once in a while and don't be too modest to take encouragement and praise when it is rendered to you.Mama Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929274017456314452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2436935495194853889.post-19089972926718650672010-04-13T10:58:27.195-05:002010-04-13T10:58:27.195-05:00You are singing the song that all mothers find the...You are singing the song that all mothers find themselves singing, Audra. It is definitely hard to find balance in it all. Remembering that this is a season helps me get through the difficult times. Motherhood is good at providing an identity crisis. :) Be sure to take time for yourself every week. You'll be a better wife and mother for it. Hang in there and give yourself grace! You're experiencing a huge change that may be wonderful, but it's still very difficult.
