It's much to long to type but I feel everyone would benefit from reading it.<BR/><BR/>I think we (SAHM's) all feel like this at times. <BR/>I had to fix my mind set so that this is my job. It's the HARDEST FUCKING job I've ever done. EVER. Some rewards mostly thankless and lots of criticism around every corner but it's for me to perfect and screw up all at the same time. I take it seriously with lots of sarcasm and hope with all hope that one day I can look back and say....it was all worth it.<BR/><BR/>J has the attitude, WHO CARES. She doesn't care what she looks like when she leaves the house, if someone comes over and the house is a MESS she'll invite them in. It all doesn't matter to her. Don't sweat the small stuff she tells me. <BR/>It's wearing on me. I don't know if it's age, wisdom or what but I have relaxed A LOT since we've been together. Maybe it's because of the kids. I don't worry about trying to be perfect all of the time. I still try. But I'm better.<BR/>In my mind I know that J's way is the right way. The more relaxed and happier way. so I try. :)<BR/>I want to make a New Years resolution with you.....to stop worrying about what others think so much. Worry about my family and about being happy and content more. I think it's a gift we can offer and give our children.<BR/><BR/>Wew, good thing I didn't add the story or this would be THE LONGEST COMMENT EVER !!!! :)K J and the kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11768311213861195548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988962265617663341.post-3491727071340890162008-12-23T19:19:00.000-05:002008-12-23T19:19:00.000-05:00Cool about the blog book I will have to check that...Cool about the blog book I will have to check that out. I wrote journals daily for the first 2 years of Bliss and then often after I still want to translate into a blog or just type out and a bound book would be sooo awesome to do.<BR/><BR/>I have a question that came to mind while reading your post re: the career thing. Are you lost as to what YOU want or what you think you SHOULD be doing?<BR/><BR/>I felt like maybe that wasn't clear and wasn't surew if it was more of an unfulfilled in that one area thing, or a thing you think should be a certain way because of what you perceive "others" to think.<BR/><BR/>Just curious.<BR/><BR/>Take care and Happy Holidays.bleuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00467701792949981337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988962265617663341.post-31532480787243276692008-12-23T16:50:00.000-05:002008-12-23T16:50:00.000-05:00this is how i (for myself) answer some of the agon...this is how i (for myself) answer some of the agonizing life questions you pose...<BR/><BR/>http://villagezendo.org/<BR/><BR/>that dinner looks delish!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988962265617663341.post-2941102884910219432008-12-23T15:14:00.000-05:002008-12-23T15:14:00.000-05:00my wife made a book out of our blog for the first ...my wife made a book out of our blog for the first 2 years as a gift for me last year. it was a brilliant idea and i know our daughter will love it since so much of the blog is about her that we're going to do it every 2 years and print 2 copies (now, since our 2nd baby girl will is due in Feb) for each of ours as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
