I feel like you are one of the moms who DOES have it all together. haha So maybe you're doing better than you think. :)<br><br>I started feeling inadequate the moment Xander was born. They handed him to me, him screaming of course, and I instantly had no idea how to soothe him. Lately, though, I'm realizing that it's okay if he doesn't have a portion of every food group with every meal - as long as he's eating. (And it's not like I give him a bowl of M&Ms for lunch or anything.) And it's okay if he throws a fit in the grocery store and I have to discipline him right then and there. Other moms understand. And the other people....well, I don't care if they understand or not. haha He is very loved, and he knows and feels that.<br><br>And yes, as I type this there is one sippy cup, two Shrek toys, a stuffed bumblebee, three balls, and a large firetruck sitting on my living room floor. :)Megan Bruchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627068414603746903.post-58387667332550265292010-06-18T02:04:24.000+03:002010-06-18T02:04:24.000+03:00I like boxed mac & cheese, too.

E...:) I'm struggling with yelling lately too. Every passing year requires me to depend on Him more, cause my own "strength" just isn't enough anymore. It's a good thing He strips us of our abilities to be enough, to "have it all together"... and when you're overseas, it can feel even more so. Cause then He carries us along and shows us grace in our weakness... and He shines all the more clear.<br><br>As for going past the 1-to-1 ratio thing, a sling and a stroller help me... and also being fierce about them holding onto the side of a stroller. <br><br>No one is perfect... but I totally understand the feeling that everyone else is. Don't listen to it. Just keep "doing the next thing" and listen to Him. (I had a similar post one day when I'd had enough of reading of other people's perfection-- called "My seven-month-old ate dirt (and other confessions)": http://makinghome.blogspot.com/2008/11/my-seven-month-old-ate-dirt-and-other.html<br><br>It came to mind when I read your post. :)<br><br>Blessings to you...Jesshttp://makinghome.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627068414603746903.post-62308807227649533172010-06-23T00:11:41.000+03:002010-06-23T00:11:41.000+03:00Thanks Mollie!

I'm laughing and crying - and so thankful that I'm not the only one that thinks those things....and does those things!<br><br>I was talking with my doula yesterday and I was telling her I felt like such a slacker as the kids were camped out in front of the tv while I was struggling through a rough afternoon of braxton-hicks contractions. She said, "That's fine - it won't hurt them...but a pregnant mama will!" LOL...So, I grabbed a blanket and some pillows and we all camped out on the floor ;-) <br><br>((hugs)) Enjoy that pepsi ;-)Terra Joneshttp://musings.thejonesjourney.comnoreply@blogger.com
