I too have been much too nice when ...I loved this! I too have been much too nice when asked that, and some days feel like I'm less accomplished than my mother friends who do work. It was all made better the other day when my husband, home for all of two hours during the first week of summer break, said to me "I have no idea how you do this all day. I'm so impressed because I'm ready to go back to the office for some peace and quiet!" Ha! To misquote the Peace Corps, motherhood is the hardest job you'll ever love.<br />Love your blog and your honesty that runs through it. Can't wait to read more.<br /><br />Alysia<br />http://trydefyinggravity.wordpress.com/Alysiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17214949515460359731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406173063329064022.post-5578266204935907382010-07-03T04:30:02.873-07:002010-07-03T04:30:02.873-07:00Memories!Memories!Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14068827303344750197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406173063329064022.post-48967503198180543462010-07-02T14:05:38.030-07:002010-07-02T14:05:38.030-07:00Urgh.

Look at Jennifer Aniston (if you must) - most women would give up a career and cash in an instant to have what you have. I really think that jealousy was at the root of her question and I really hope she now reads your wonderful, hilarious and popular blog.Mrs Coxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406173063329064022.post-89311424031047054162010-07-02T11:11:01.263-07:002010-07-02T11:11:01.263-07:00I feel sorry for people who view motherhood and be...I feel sorry for people who view motherhood and being "just a housewife" as something that requires pity. Is there anything more difficult, time consuming, rewarding, painful, joyful? This is a quote that I have always loved from one of my church leaders:<br /><br />"Motherhood is the greatest potential influence either for good or ill in human life. The mother's image is the first that stamps itself on the unwritten page of the young child's mind. It is her caress that first awakens a sense of security; her kiss, the first realization of affection; her sympathy and tenderness, the first assurance that there is love in the world. . . . She who rears successfully a family of healthy, beautiful sons and daughters. . . deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God." -David O. McKay<br /><br />Just a mom nothing! :) Love you. <br /><br />Sorry for the novel of a comment.
