but that doesn't mean that I haven't been blog hopping. I found the following on this random blog It's one of the funniest things I've read lately. I dont know the author and yet, I know her all too well...
to myself, on mother's day
Dear Me,
Happy stinking Mother's Day.
You thought being a mother would be so great, didn't you? That your kids would be plump cheeked and easy to please? That you would be able to handle each precious child with happiness and ease?
You were wrong.
Motherhood is kicking your butt, and you know it.
Like yesterday when Opie was about to poop in his pull up -again- so he was rushed to the toilet just in time to smear poop over multiple surfaces? Remember that? Remember screaming, "WIPE YOUR BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!" repeatedly until you had to give yourself a time out? Yeah, that wasn't fabulous at all.
And remember on wednesday, the 572nd time Monkey came to you crying, "Owie owie owie owie owie owie owie!!!" and you didn't even look at him and just muttered, "You're fine, stop crying." Remember? That wasn't very nurturing, was it? How damaging is that to his little psyche?
And do you recall when you found out you were pregnant with your fourth child and you wanted to smash something and scream out in angst? But instead you remained in denial all through those torturous months of bedrest until your actual child was laying in your actual arms? Don't they say that a mother's attitude can affect a child in the womb? Way to go, Number Four is probably going to need lots of future therapy.
So go ahead and go to church and hear about how mothers are amazing, and listen to all the perfect examples of selfless, level headed parenting that is going to be mentioned in all the talks and lessons. Then hang up those little finger print molds and wear your macaroni necklace with pride. Because this whole Mom thing is much harder than you expected, but maybe if you put on a good enough show you can even convince yourself that you're doing a good job.
But in the meantime, maybe you should pull out that candy bar they handed out after Sacrament Meeting. Because chocolate might be the only thing that gets you through the next couple decades of child rearing.
Sincerely,
Me

That is awesome. I have so many days when I feel exactly like that. Can I steal it and put it on my blog?
Sweet, I've never been quoted before! I'm totally flattered.
Wow! I'm sure many of us feel that way a lot of the time. I only wish that I had that chocolate bar that she got........carnations just don't cut it for those pregnant women who are in denial until the baby is actually in their arms.
That was hilarious! That explains why I'm addicted to chocolate.
I was in that club for a long time and am happy to say that I am not anymore. They do grow up and you do realize that you have been doing a great job in spite of the lack of evidence. Hang in there. The proof is in the pudding, and someday it won't be smeared on something white!
That is funny! Happy Birthday Jillie!
that is hilarious.
My freaking favorite post in a long time! Glad I'm not alone in being defeated by motherhood!
My fiance bought the Iphone & totally regrets it. He can't get any reception at all & has to forward his cell to our home phone now. He's tried downloading stuff that was recommended & nothing is working. Plus, it's complicated & time consuming. Anyone else have this problem?
