Mommy Therapy

Being a mom is everything they said it would be and more! Some days (like yesterday) I run out of steam and have a little mommy meltdown. I know I'm just relieving stress. Emily's a good baby but nights of interrupted sleep take their toll on my well being and sanity! I have decided that when I feel a meltdown coming on, I will pray and think of the many blessings of motherhood. It is very rewarding to see Emily grow and change. It really warms my heart in the morning when I see her in her crib and she is so excited that I'm there! If I'm on the living floor with her and I start thinking about unwashed dishes or a messy kitchen, she quickly reminds me that I'm where I should be with a big smile and a laugh. When I have time away from her I come back refreshed and ready to be mom again. It's not easy being a mom. I don't know how my mother did it. All my earliest memories of her are filled with smiles, love and happiness. She seemed to have it all together.
