I agree about JOY- my mom gave me a wood cutout of the word JOY for christmas after I had my daughter and she said, "I don't know if you realize it, but you've been using this word a LOT lately" :)<br /><br />Photography and cake decorating?

I even wrote posts for their website. And then I heard what you just told me and I was SO disheartened. I put my name behind a movie I hadn't seen hoping it would be wonderful........and........they didn't even research blogging so it's not even a realistic view of blogging from what I've heard.

Your words were perfection. Joy is so much more than happiness -- joy is like sunlight, or softly falling rain. It surrounds us, and envelops us. It's effects linger long after it's cause has passed on. <br /><br />And, like you, I find the greatest joy of all in my family.<br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03689238640477884004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263875817686551994.post-89347324675417703512010-01-30T12:14:35.666-08:002010-01-30T12:14:35.666-08:00That was an awesome post!

Two babies crying, the house is filthy, and I haven't been able to hop in the shower.<br />With my husband in school, I don't expect--nor get--any relief from him. Thus, I am alone.<br /><br />And, you know what? It is hard. <br /><br />It is hard to wake up every morning knowing that I cannot ask for help. Knowing that I am alone.<br /><br />Anyway, I am getting overly emotional.

(Why oh why is it that the assumption is that being a SAHM is something an intelligent, professional, competent woman could not embrace?

I have been in both places of stay at home and working. Staying at home is a lot harder but definitely more rewarding.

My parents, who live about 45 minutes away from us are about to hit the road. They're selling their house. My dad retired after 28 years w/ Lockheed Martin & my mom was always a SAHM. So now they're off to see the world.... motorhome style. It's a big transition & change for me b/c they're selling my childhood home, the place that has been "home" for 32 years! And they won't be near to just visit. But, we're moving to Nebraska this summer, so we're all transitioning this year as well! <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for stopping by again. Love your post.

The good moments outweigh the tough ones by leaps and bounds. <br /><br />My kids have taught me so much and have made me a better person, though I know I still have a lot to learn. I love how they view life and get excited about the smallest things. I'm so very grateful to be a mom.Kelli @ writing the waveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06529137162073950732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263875817686551994.post-70395396812657068882010-01-29T15:09:41.338-08:002010-01-29T15:09:41.338-08:00I completely agree with everything you said.

I was thinking how I've been home with my boys for 3 months now and luckily I get to stay home just until after easter. Unfortunately I have to return to work to help with the financial situation:( But I was thinking what have I done to make a difference in my children's life since I've been home with them. Have I done all I can do? Should I do more? I've just decided to live in the moment. Do what I can for the day I'm in. I have been pondering this subject. Thanks so much for your post. I enjoy being a mother too. It's what i've always wanted to be!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06276265761550883997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263875817686551994.post-53536526073377820532010-01-29T12:39:29.237-08:002010-01-29T12:39:29.237-08:00I've never heard of the movie but I'll pas...I've never heard of the movie but I'll pass.
