I always say, "I love you, but I can't prepare you." Really, it's a journey and it's close up and personal. When you say it's H-A-R-D, I hear you. Being a mother pulls and bends emotions you never knew were there. It brings out a person in you, you may not have was there, and these are all great things to help us shape our characters in becoming the best we can-and shape it will...that is motherhood of course. Take care, I don't always comment but I do follow and I love your words and pictures. <br /><br />ShaunaShaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07569615918273530663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274899368014541890.post-79417440256026006772012-02-06T11:53:38.151-05:002012-02-06T11:53:38.151-05:00I so agree with you!

Her father and I are both very stubborn people and wouldn't you know it, she is beginning to show that too! We no longer have a docile baby, she is very clear in making her likes and dislikes heard! Sometimes it is hard not to feel like your old self has been a bit lost because of the new focus of motherhood, but boy does my daughter make it so worth it! I am a very crafty, DIY type and it took me over six months to make time to recover my dining room chairs. But the thing is, I did it! Eventually...:)Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01968017163570110847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274899368014541890.post-27388560509772260002012-02-05T00:59:23.127-05:002012-02-05T00:59:23.127-05:00I hear ya.

She's still such a beautiful soul & I've chosen to every morning hug her, snuggle with her and tell her how much I love her. We listen to lots of music and I make lists too. But my lists are mommy lists, a bit different from the old ones. :-) Thanks for sharing.erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15685738302736981048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274899368014541890.post-50209409934669041772012-02-04T13:25:23.612-05:002012-02-04T13:25:23.612-05:00Lovely post, and very well written!

Thank you for writing about motherhood not always been sunshine and daisy's, cause its not! It is hard at times. No matter what age their at, there can always be a challenge. Im right there with you when you say "you feel accomplished when you make it to the post office, clip their nails, and unload the dishwasher". Cause that's how it is. New priorities, and an independent little girl to raise keeps you busy in ways you could never imagine {unless you've been there or doing it now}.

Of late I went in search of how a mom can do everything, career, wife, mom, nurse, maid, cook, etc. I watched the movie, "How Does She Do It," and realized that doing everything isn't possible. We all have our hard moments when it comes to motherhood. Nobody's perfect. But it's sooooo worth it. =)<br />I would love for you to get in on my February photo-a-day challenge.
