Struggling to be a mom....still

I wish that after being a hands on and full time mom for 18 months,
I can finally say that have mastered how to handle my baby...
...but, I can't
and with a baby soon to be around by the year's end,
I am overwhelmed by the additional amount of adjustments that will be coming
my way, our way as a family...


"Motherhood brings as much joy as ever,
but it still brings boredom, exhaustion, and sorrow too.
Nothing else ever will make you as happy or as sad, as proud or as tired,
for nothing is quite as hard as helping a person develop his own individuality
especially while you struggle to keep your own."

- Marguerite Kelly and Elia Parsons
