Perfect! I was just journaling about something very similar. =] We moms do all that and then sometimes still feel guilty that we weren’t fast enough or it wasn’t seamless enough, a meal didn’t turn out pretty enough… sigh. We are doing awesome! If only we could acknowledge that more often!

I really understand this article, as do most other moms! One thing I thought was interesting though, is that we give and give and give and then take care of ourselves last… even when we don’t need to! For example, the other day the kids (2 boys, 3 & 1) were happily eating part of their meal (you know the kind, daddy’s working late, & dinner consists of a bunch of snacks {string cheese, fruit & vegetable pouch and a 1 million grain fig bar} and voilà! an easy meal)– but, I realized that I would rather make sure that they had all 7 aspects of their meal done before I would even think about my own dinner! They wouldn’t have cared or noticed even if I was making my dinner! Why? I don’t even know, except that I love them beyond all reason. I cannot tell you how many times I have made the kids a meal and realized an hour later that I forgot about myself.. and only because I’ve run out of gas & figure I guess if I’m going to have the strength to make it through this day, I better eat! It’s who God made us! They will grow up all to quickly and we will (surprisingly enough) wish that we had little ones tugging on out shirts asking for yet another refill in their sippy. 🙂
