For me,todays post was inspired by Bible study, and other moms.  I realized that after some of us sharing some “mom” stories that we are all just about the same.   We have the same struggles, frustrations, fears and joy!  

So today, the only thing I have to offer is a tiny bit of encouragement to all of us mothers. 

When I am so tired I can hardly think, another mom is also living in a fog… 

When I’m awake at 3:00 am with a toddler who is throwing up, another mom is changing sheets too! 

When I want to fly away to Hawaii, the moon, or even just the mall, another mom is planning her escape as well. 

When my husband leaves for one more business, hunting, or golf trip, (or you do it by yourself every day) another mom is left to do it alone too.

When I am cleaning one more dirty face, one more dirty dish, one more spilled sippy cup, another mom is running out of towels too! 

When you just need one minute to write your blog post and your kids have sucked all your creativity and humor out of you…I guess this happens to other mothers??? Right???  (except Lindsay!) ;)

When I just want “one minute of silence!” another moms nerves are worn out too. 

 And when I look in the mirror and wonder who that person is…another mom also wonders who she has become!

There are a million other ways we can all relate, but my point is this, we are not alone in this crazy journey of being a mother.  So when you are feeling like you just want to give up, run away and make it all stop… 

Remember that when you hear your children laugh, sing and say “I love you”, and when you look at your children and see an angel (even if it is only when they are sleeping)…another mom is experiencing the same joy!
