I know what you mean about sharing stuff so personal! I write a syndicated parenting column, and I spend a lot of time talking to women at conferences about sex (I had to practice saying certain words in front of the mirror so I could do it without too much embarrassment!) But what you wrote was so beautiful. You really made us want more. You're a beautiful writer, and I hope one day you'll get the chance to write a novel or something. I think you'd be great at it! You don't read that much compelling writing on the web, but yours really is! Sheila from To Love, Honor and Vacuum

Love taking a peek at the woman behind the blog so to speak. Isn’t it funny how our plans don’t seem to work out as we thought they would. But His plans do. xo

@ Andrea, Stephanie, Joy, and Robin- Thanks for your kind hearts. It is nerve-wrecking to share such personal stuff, and these comments make me smile

thanks for sharing that. I didnt believe I was supposed to be the mom I turned out to be. And sometimes I question weither I made good choices leading up to becoming a mom. But here I am and may God make us better for it.

Amazing how those small little lines become so significant, so quickly. I never dreamed of being a mom, like you did. I was the mom in my house. My brother needed one and I needed life to have some sort of order. I only stopped “momming” for three years, when I was out on my own and my brother moved 700 miles away . I don’t miss the years I had to myself. I’m not always my kids’ favorite person, but I love them and they love me and we do life together. There is no perfect mom, just the mom you are. God gave you your girls because you are right for them. And He is always right!

Like a good book.. always ends leaving you wanting for more.

Great post! I agree with Andrea, it too gave me shivers. Thanks for posting this.
