Sometimes the day to day grind of things gets to me and it comes out in a complete lack of patience on my part. I hate that I get frustrated and take it out on Jack or Katmai or just silly things. Sometimes I look at myself and think, You are being so dramatic. This is nothing. Get it together. I dont know sometimes what I would do without a few minutes to myself to just clear my head and take things a little better in stride. I want to stay home, I love staying home, I love my children and am so blessed in the life God has given me. I just tend to be more selfish than I want to be or really care to admit. My prayer throughout the day is begging God for the grace of patience and willing myself to see things in a positive light (because they really are so wonderful...)
I think most (all?) moms go through this - it's such a thankless job, being a mom. There's no promotion or raise at the end of the year for a job well done, but I guess having great kids is the payoff, right? I wouldn't turn down a tropical vacation, though - if that ever became mandatory compensation for being a mom.
