But it IS rewarding.<BR/><BR/>And playing with Blaine yesterday gave me such insight into your mothering. He was so polite and so happy. And he knows so many more words than I realized! Good work. All that play time is paying off! :)lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560924627020614269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028645476191061842.post-28090891684340692142007-09-27T11:27:00.000-07:002007-09-27T11:27:00.000-07:00I too love your candidness.

I was busy plotting the imminent death of my children this morning, but decided that it would be to strenuous a task to accomplish since I am over 9 months pregnant. Maybe later? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028645476191061842.post-15487307655408574772007-09-27T08:35:00.000-07:002007-09-27T08:35:00.000-07:00I think that transition is hard for everyone, and ...I think that transition is hard for everyone, and I too think it's great that you're so honest about it. And I'm so glad you're feeling more adjusted, since you're expecting #2! I found that two kids kept me so much busier, I didn't have as much time to wonder whether I liked it or not. Plus there's that little matter of buying a house (?) and moving, which will keep you plenty busy :)lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635054930204348566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028645476191061842.post-37760816017256484242007-09-27T06:40:00.000-07:002007-09-27T06:40:00.000-07:00Anne, I really appreciate your honesty.

I appreciate how you help us all see that it's okay to struggle with finding ourselves in our various roles; I certainly have (struggled.) I think Blaine is one lucky boy to have such a great mom and I'll bet you fall more and more in love with motherhood as he gets older and more verbal and develops a silly little sense of humor; I know this is going to sound dumb, but it's almost painful how cute they get as toddlers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028645476191061842.post-20188301815658943792007-09-26T19:36:00.000-07:002007-09-26T19:36:00.000-07:00Wow, I'm impressed at how productive your days are...Wow, I'm impressed at how productive your days are! You didn't even mention how you're also saving young girls all over campus! For me, one of the most gratifying things about being a mom is seeing how much mykids love each other. On the days when I feel like a total failure, seeing Samuel hug his brothers makes me feel like I've done something right.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03244452990107984006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028645476191061842.post-70545938778455828682007-09-26T15:45:00.000-07:002007-09-26T15:45:00.000-07:00So happy for you and your family.
