All the mundane, and even the excruciating. We homeschooled. One of our three was very hyperactive. I had chronic fatigue for three years. We struggled to make it on one income. They are all grown now, with at least one child of their own. They love us, love each other (making allowances for each other because they are so incredibly different), and two of the three love God. Still praying for number three. I am more convinced than ever, that all those days, those challenging days, all added up to more than I could have hoped. <br /><br />And I am so sorry you lost your mom so soon. I lost my mom when I was 33, and that was too soon!

You are carving out your life step by step and that is never easy. It's the small things that drive us crazy and keep us sane in the same breath. It's hard and I hear you - not that I know what your experience is like but that I have my own trials and triumphs. I curl up and cry one moment then count my blessing the next. I can read stories like this and think to myself I'm not alone. Other Mothers struggle like I struggle. It's unifying. Thank you for sharing your ongoing story.

I wanted to tell you I follow ruby ellen of cakies, and in her schoolroom she has the most awesome sign that says " I can't do this, but I am doing it anyway". Isn't that so true.

Isn't ...I love this: "neither am I."<br /><br />Isn't that the truth? I've thought a lot about people saying things like, I could never do that. And you know what, it diminishes their own strength as well as the sacrifice of those who have or are doing it. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your journey with me. I've had very, very similar thoughts lately. I love your perspective. Thank you.

I'm sure your children love and appreciate all that you do for them---but, one day when they are grown, these sacrifices that you made for them will have even greater meaning. They are blessed to have you as their mama.
