We are not alone (or atleast I am not)

Have you ever felt that it was crazy to think or feel that you were not enjoying every second of every day being a parent. I know I have.  There are numerous times a day I look at my two kids who I love wholeheartedly and think why on earth did I agree to reproduce!!!  Why did I sign up for this job...someone should have warned me that this wasn't as pretty as they paint it to be prior to actually having kids....I honestly feel if we knew how hard it would be some of us would not take the plunge.....I love my kids....but man do they know how to drive one crazy....actually crazy!!!  But as soon as you think you've reached your limits they do something...something small something huge to melt you....and you have been reset until the next time....

I happened to be on facebook (shocking I know) and saw this link to a blog and I happened to read it....I felt finally someone had put into words what I was and am feeling being a mom!

2011 Lesson #2 : Don’t Carpe Diem

I agree 100% with this post.  I like how she put in the chronos time....its that hard slowing moving time, day in day out, that we all have to do....the time that we constantly are watching tick down until they go to bed and there is quiet.....and then their is the Kairos time....I love how she put this....its the resetting moments throughout the day that get you through the chronos time....the whole post rang true to me....I love my kids, but I do not enjoy every second of everyday with them...parenthood is hard....its a war front that I was not fully prepared for and still not prepared for...everyday I wake up get my war gear on to make it another day....but everyday during the war I am reminded why I chose to have them......and during that time I think I could not be an luckier....until the war resumes!!!

To our kids may we survive parenthood!!
