Motherhood- The never ending pendulum swing
My life as a mom is a pendulum. My emotions swing back and forth. Sometimes life feels so peaceful and other times there is so much anxiety that I can hardly sleep at night. Sometimes I love being with my kids and sometimes I want to hide in a dark corner of the house where no one can find me. Sometimes I enjoy making dinner and sometimes just the mental stress of having to make dinner every day seems daunting. Sometimes I dispise my body, the added curves, the increasing stretch marks, the saggy skin, and other times I'm like, "DANG! My body is stinking amazing! I have grown and sustained 7 other lives with this body. Good Job BODY!" Sometimes I feel like the world's worst mother, and other times I feel like motherhood is the best thing that I do all day. You get the idea! Maybe I am alone on this emotional roller coaster called "motherhood" but I am guessing, maybe even hoping, that I am not the only one. So, feel free to join me on this crazy train...
