Learning from motherhood
Sometimes, motherhood is a treadmill. I’m running myself ragged, but never really getting anywhere. (This is why I hate treadmills.)
Of course, as a mom sometimes the exhaustion goes beyond the physical. Sometimes I feel like as soon as I get a grasp on one age or stage, everything changes. The minute I accept Hayden’s three nap schedule, he grows out of his third nap.
I feel like a passage in Second Timothy, “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” Or at least the children. (Don’t even get me started on the laundry!)
But for now, I feel rather competent—and I’ll enjoy it as long as I can!
Do you ever feel like you’re climbing a mountain of sand when it comes to understanding your job as a mother?

Oh yeah! Whenever I have it figured out, my baby changes! But then I look back at how far we’ve come in the past 1 1/2 years, and it’s been a long way!

November 20th, 2008 at 8:37 pmHey, mountain of sand is a great analogy. And yes, I feel that way far too often. Sometimes I have good days. Other days I’m fairly certain I suck!
