Did you rip a page from my old diary and print it without my permission? It sounds familiar. One thing that is good to remember is that your kids will not remember much from their early years. Really. They won’t remember the messes they made or that you were grumpy sometimes. They might remember a few hall of shame moments (we all have those) but their memories will be of their nice Mommy who loved them. It’s true: this too shall pass. Hang in there.

Well, I got so involved with trying to be quick abou things I forgot to put include the title. Well, I may not have mommy guilt, but I definitely have mommy brain! The book is called “Mommy Guilt: Learn To Worry Less, Focus on What Matters Most and Raise Happier Kids”(AMACOM)

Now I am off to get some much needed coffee to awaken my brain!

Please run, don’t walk to a library near you and check out our book! I think it might make you feel better. I am NOT spamming you to buy the sucker, it is available at most libraries. My goal in this world, as is Aviva’s, is to absolve moms (and dads!) of guilt! If you need even more guilt absolution, let me know. Aviva and I are available to help. Please let us! : )

GM – You know, you are right! Besides, when the cameras are rolling, anyone can plaster a smile on their face and maintain their cool. AND, I suspect that if I had 3 or 4 teenagers to help me out with the little ones, I could do it too!

Now, I feel better. lol I’m so bad.

i’m feeling the same lately. my kids keep telling me to use my inside voice (oops.) we were just talking at bible study yesterday about how we watch these ’supermoms’ on tv and then wonder how we are finding two (or four) overwhelming.
answer? those women are crazy. completely crazy, i mean, seriously, 12 kids?!?!?!

Valium? I think it is something much harder.

Lane, I’m like this with one. Just thinking about the extra laundry yours generate makes me woozy.

I used to know patience – at least we were acquainted, but now? She’s a stranger to me.

Thanks ladies for the encouragement. It always helps to know I’m not alone in this!
