I didn't realize just how much work is involved in blogging. I enjoy it, don't get me wrong, but sometimes it's tough making the time to do it when so many things are pressing. I applaud you for your decision to make sure you're taking care of yourself first! :) I know what you mean! I didn’t realize just how much work is involved in blogging.

I've been expecting something similar for some time now, and I'm so happy that not only did you have such a great talk with Brett, but that you had a similar talk with yourself and realized that you're only human.

Last week I told Todd I felt I was really not measuring up at anything now: mothering, working, or just living. But like you said, I think a big part of that is just having a very needy 5-month-old who needs so much attention. I try to console myself by remembering that right now my most important job is just to make sure that she is well taken care of, and really all the rest can take a backseat. It gets hard to remember that though on days that end with a stack of unmet goals. I can totally relate to this post.

I am so glad you had time to talk with Brett and just vent all these frustrations out. You are doing a fantastic job as a working mother and wife. Yes, it is hard to come to the realization that having children means sacrifices...ones you didn't think you needed to make. You and Brett are creating a new reality for yourselves that includes Elanor....and it'll be so much more than you ever imagined...you won't miss anything. I love your blog...you are honest and can express so many feelings that I also feel as a mother and a wife. Have faith that you will reach a point of equilibrium very soon...hugs!

I think a car will be useful. I can't imagine having to do all the things that need doing without a car. And as you figure things out more with your home stuff, the friend stuff will fall into place. I'll be thinking of you and praying for you guys! It’s good that you guys had that talk. I think a car will be useful. I can’t imagine having to do all the things that need doing without a car.
