Oh girl, I swear that a lot of moms just fool themselves into thinking that they are moms of the year.
I saw some of Oprah today and there were SO many things that I agreed with and disagreed with. The main thing that I agreed with though is that being a mom has been the hardest thing I have ever done!! I would DIE if I didn't get as much as I do from Grant. Especially never being around family.
Also, there are days when I just DON'T want to get out of bed in the morning. I often joke that I am going to pick up another "wife" from Colorado City where all the polygamist live and bring her home so I can put her to work. Do the dishes, change the diapers, fold the laundry, vaccum the floors, get the grocerys, cook dinner, etc...etc...
And I have never once been ashamed to admit that it is really hard for me. Trust me, I tell the stranger in the Target aisles how haggard I am because Crew was up all night, or that he crapped EVERYWHERE, or that he freakin' wont stop scratching his scalp and making himself bleed.
Now you got me on a rampage....I'll stop now, but if you ever need adult interaction, please come on over and we will cry about it together! :-)
I agree with everything Jesse said! It is hard in the beginning, I would like to say it gets easier the older they get, but NO! It's just a different kind of hard. It is nice when they start eating solids, because the Dad's can help out more.
Sheesh, I just wish someone would have told me that I was going to lose all control of my life some days.
I think I might need another wife too. Great idea Jesse!
