Rattled by Motherhood

I look back on the posts written between 2008 and 2013 and want to give myself a hug and say it will get better.  You will pay your bills, you will have money left over, you will not lose your job - in fact you will excel!  You will move to Maryland and work from home.  Your relationship with your husband will improve, you will eventually get full nights sleep AND add a 3rd child to the mix.

You poor thing, you had it rough.  You had no idea motherhood balanced with a career could be so hard.  I heard about a book recently called "Surprised by Motherhood".  I think if I were to write one, it would be "Rattled by Motherhood" because in reading these posts I realized I was deeply shaken by the challenges in early motherhood.  Glad it got better, glad I stayed close to God in the process.
