Being a mom is one of the hardest and teh most rewarding jobs I've ever had...the role really pushes us to the limit. But those smiles, hugs, and milestones makes the day a little bit brighter.

Doesn't it seem like you're running on gas fumes on those days? If that's how you've been feeling lately, you aren't alone, and I hope you can relax a little. The only thing that keeps me going on some days is the gratitude that my kids show. One day I was so tired and grumpy, and my son kept repeatedly calling my name. After the tenth time, I said (through clenched teeth and w/ a throbbing temple) "Yes, Michael?" And he grabs my face and says "I love you sooo much, Mama", scoots closer and kisses me on the cheek. (That made me feel really slimey for being grumpy.) Sounds like a rough day. Doesn’t it seem like you’re running on gas fumes on those days?
