No mom does. Nobody does for that matter. We all have something we struggle with.<br /><br />Being a mom is such a learning process that never ends. Just when you think you've got it, some new issue arises. But such is life! God likes to challenge us, but will never throw something at you that you can't handle. And believe me, you're not the only mom to have yelled at her kids. Gods mercies are new every morning. <br /><br />You got this, Chelsea!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15031113730744375196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536350059675671064.post-4424916018678266342013-02-11T18:32:18.170-08:002013-02-11T18:32:18.170-08:00Chels.

Then the occasional good day comes along to redeem the bad ones. I've been reading Desperate: Hope for the mom that needs to breathe by Sarah Mae and Sally Clarkson. It is so comforting to know we are not alone! I'm inspired by your blog and love that you are honest! It's so refreshing. In honor of that, I want you to know I am writing this while in yoga pants, showerless, while my kids ransack the house : ). Keep going!!

If I ...Oh, I wish I had been at the park that day. If I didn't read your blog religiously and consider you a bit of a celebrity, if I saw you at the park you'd be just the kind of Mama I'd gravitate to. I would have started up small talk, and we probably would have chatted the whole time and ended up exchanging info so we could have play dates in the near future. I know the importance and necessity of bouncing ideas, bad-day anecdotes, and dreams off other Moms. I hope you have better days coming, and I hope that you continue to turn to the Lord on hard days.Arati dasi Aislinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09868329169404805278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536350059675671064.post-29341531795872200732013-02-10T17:38:00.969-08:002013-02-10T17:38:00.969-08:00Hey, i just wanted to say that I would have sat do...Hey, i just wanted to say that I would have sat down right next to you at the park and started small talk. If I didn't read your blog religiously and consider you a bit of a celebrity, if I saw you at the park you'd be just the Mama I'd gravitate to. I have days like that, and know how important and helpful it is to be able to bounce thoughts, ideas and crappy feelings off other Moms. We probably would have talked the whole time, ended up exchanging info, and both felt better, stronger, and ready to face the rest of the day.

That describes them well! ;) It's not easy but God as my strength, I'll make it to the end and continue to learn how to juggle it all without so many mommy tantrums and break downs. ;) <br /><br />I lurk your instagram and just die over your sweet new boy and your girls. I was so so excited when you got to bring him home and your adoption was complete. I remember seeing photos of you guys together and just bursting into tears-Dustin's like, what? what happened!? Erin & Lane got their baby! I was over joyed. <br /><br />Thanks for your prayer & sweet words!

Yesterday I was running on the treadmill after having the. worst. day. EVER. and I started bawling so hard that I stopped the treadmill, fell to my knees and just let the tears flow for about 10 minutes. I've cried more in the last months than I have in the last 20 years. Life, kids, a disgusting house... It's taking a toll. But THANK JESUS that everyday day is new. Good God, what would we if that wasn't the case? We'd be screwed! Love you friend.

For the first time in probably a month, I'm feeling good about where we're at with Isaac's schedule and getting things done. And those moms at the park are not perfect! I bet they just want us all to think so. They have just as much junk going on as the next mom. Stay at home motherhood sucks sometimes. We all know it ;)<br /><br />I needed this reminder today to be praying through everything. Everything. Even on the good days. Because it's never of my own strength. It's always through Him and His wonderful, amazing, perfect, I-could-never-deserve-it grace!! jessi bridgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16221126485411903769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536350059675671064.post-58718628667539704212013-02-07T08:22:33.599-08:002013-02-07T08:22:33.599-08:00You are the best.
