Everyone can see the postive things about it but not everyone sees the hard parts about it. Its a 24/7 job in which there is no coffee breaks and definitly no vacation. But one day all the hard work that you and every mother puts into their children will pay off. You and Dustin look like ya'll are doing a great job. And it does get easier- at least that is what I tell myself everyday. So keep up the good work and will talk to you later.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915161284181637762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006358085498967933.post-18678625462708331892010-01-13T16:28:46.265-06:002010-01-13T16:28:46.265-06:00Amy, you have such a way with words and how things...Amy, you have such a way with words and how things need to be "put." I love your honesty. I just read in your post what I have thought in my mind many, many times. Thanks for making the rest of us not feel like we're the only ones that feel that way!Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573216106586444864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006358085498967933.post-18987658687152034972010-01-13T13:54:45.461-06:002010-01-13T13:54:45.461-06:00I know how you feel...and it does get better! I r...I know how you feel...and it does get better! I remember when Ava turned one it seemed like our whole world changed, and she was tough. Micah even said that if I hadn't already been pregnant, we probably wouldn't be having another kid! She's 17 months old now, and it seems like just these past few weeks she's actually gotten better and I don't totally stress about the chaos that will ensue when we leave the house-because there is none (well, less at least). We can eat at a restaraunt, I can go shopping, and we have even been able to make it through a few church services without her throwing massive fits. It's exciting. It's also a little sad, because I know this somewhat better behavior means she's growing up, and I'm just not ready for that!Micah and Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07572506015796375956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006358085498967933.post-45468854762879800582010-01-13T12:31:37.015-06:002010-01-13T12:31:37.015-06:00You have just described my day, my emotions, my cr...You have just described my day, my emotions, my crazy life.......I totally understand the part about being lonely! I often wonder if I can still carry on an adult conversation and make some sense! You are an amazing Mom, wife, friend, sister in Christ, and woman! Thanks for being so honest and it is good to know that you are normal!!The Boyd Ganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044081843721453703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006358085498967933.post-29401263200821552112010-01-13T08:42:34.457-06:002010-01-13T08:42:34.457-06:00Amy...I admire your post.

I can't exactly know how you feel...I never had two at the same time but anyone who says it's easier to stay home than go to work is a not an honest person. You've chosen the harder path in life but from experience....you'll reap rewards far beyond all those things that are frustrating you now. I know you know that. I'm sorry that your family lives to far to make your daily life easier. I would love to live close enough to allow you to have more space. Just know that this is a phase...and instead of it happening at 4-7 months like I thought it would....you passed many hurdles and it's bloomed later. I love you....hang in there.....*this too shall pass*Kathinoreply@blogger.com
