Am I “serving time” instead of serving my family?

I just read a great article, among the many on powerofmoms.com about Priorities (Power of the Month Moms!) and I loved the line: 'Am I “serving time” instead of serving my family?' because that is the question in my head - I just didn't put it so well! I feel like I'm serving time some days! Watching the clock desperately for the 6:30 mark where I can start getting the kids to bed, (yet somehow not getting them to bed till 8:30 - and i'm not even preparing anything more than cheese and meat or bread and peanut butter for dinner!
I am honestly praying that the day nausea ends will come very very soon because I am ready to quit. This is the one job on the planet that you CAN'T quit though, so I just have to hope and pray and know I can't quit but ward God that I will really try if something isn't done about this!
It has been the longest 3 months of my life and every day seems like an eternity and every task is just that much harder, takes longer and - wait, even if I wasn't totally nauseated that would be the case! I have a 1.5 year old! (terror by the way!)
Wish I had the energy to list all of his Terrible ways - throwing everything in the toilet - well tonight was the brand new roll of TP into the bath, but usually it's the toilet. He always walks the exact opposite direction that we are going and refuses to hold my hand - another real pet peeve. He is SOOOO cute though - his one redeeming quality

Anyway, a late night rant by Paige.

p.s I so wish we still lived close so that I could give you a break! You are in the THICK of it. I'm sure you're earning your spot WAY WAY up there in heaven Paige. You're amazing and I miss you every day. I think I said to myself, "I miss Paige" every day at least once for the first couple weeks after you left. I still miss Paige!

Paige, You are a Champion! You are so wonderful. My Heart goes out to you as you endure the Really Tough Times of Motherhood.
Do like Judy use to do to me... I walk in the door after work. She hands me Logan and says, "I'm Out of Here! See you later tonight." And Out she'd go.

Of Paige I so remember those days...years... minus the nausea. I remember thinking 'someone please come take these kids somewhere for a dang.' My duties were so monotonous and never dome. Uugghh. I feel the anxiety as I think of it. Lol. BUT, its only a phase. It will be over before you know it and you'll be on to different challenges that aren't as physically exhausting.
I send my love!! Wish you were here!!

Option for a Healthy Birth

I am not typically a big writer on my blog. I usually just post a few dozen photos of my adorable child and make little comments below. Well, I need some sort of outlet for all of my frustrations and thoughts and would love some feedback on them. As many of you know, I ended up getting a C-section with Brooklyn after planning on a completely natural birth with the help of Hypnosis. That is a whole nother story, and I wont' go into it, but I learned a lot about the what I want and need to have a healthy delivery. After extensive research into the process of birth, I know that it is possible for me to have a beautiful, natural birth and the things that that entails really aren't extreme and are in fact proven to be healthier choices for both me and my baby. (For our book group this month, we are reading "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper, which is one of several books I have read on the topic and one that I would highly recommend - as well as the documenary ...
