Shouldn't even take that long.<br /><br />Marriage and motherhood is full of rain clouds and learning to enjoy them is not so much a matter of finding the silver lining, because many times there just ain't no silver lining. It's more a matter of learning to enjoy rain. You know what I mean? You can hunch down and bemoan your fate, or you can jump in the puddles. But either way, it's gonna rain.<br /><br />Pretending that the sun is shining when it isn't doesn't get us anywhere. There is a lot of truth in this post and truth is a good thing. Many of us married moms just feel so helpless against the endless line of rote labor. Sharing this burden with others is one way to lighten the load. I didn't find this, or anything else on this life depressing at all--just truthful. And it makes me smile knowing that others are facing the same things I am and making it through somehow.Wildrosehttp://www.rosefromarock.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3710836839996875134.post-79896648248587948022012-08-19T18:19:18.170-07:002012-08-19T18:19:18.170-07:00i LOVE YOUR POST!

MY KIDS ARE A LITTLE OLDER SO I HAVE NO LONGER TODDLERS RUNNING MY LIVE 24/7. NOW I HAVE TEENAGERS RUNNING MY LIFE. I DO HAVE A JOB OUTSIDE OF THE HOME WHICH HELPS ME KEEP MY SANITY (OOPS! DID I SAY THAT OUT LOUD?) I ABSOLUTELY HATE! HATE! IT WHEN PEOPLE IMPLY THAT STAYING AT HOME BRINGS THE GREATEST JOY. TRUE, I AM HAPPY I GOT TO BE THE ONE TO STAY WITH MY LITTLE ONES, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT I ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. I TOO DISLIKE ALL THE TO-DO LISTS AND THE OVERLY BUSY SCHEDULES...HANG ON SISTER, LIFE WILL GET A LITTLE BETTER :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3710836839996875134.post-81971607263413079272012-06-15T16:18:02.977-07:002012-06-15T16:18:02.977-07:00Janice.

Granted you don't have any idea, because you haven't done it yet. Real life is tough. Raising children is incredibly difficult. Real clinical depression isn't about having a "positive mind" and is about unbalanced chemical levels and daily struggle. I doubt you would tell someone with cancer to "focus on the positives" but then again, maybe you would. I will agree that trying to maintain positive affirmations is important (see blog post "10 minutes"). But regardless, this blog is an outlet for REAL LIFE. It's a personal means of purging the difficult stuff, and along the way people who are older and more experienced have come to connect and empathized that this is normal and a part of life. Talk to me after 10 years...then tell me you enjoyed every minute of it.Depressed Mormon Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995770979206722698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3710836839996875134.post-88065278618640154972012-05-04T08:01:17.776-07:002012-05-04T08:01:17.776-07:00Wow!!

I'm getting married next year, and my fiance and I plan on starting a family, but you all make it sound like such an awful thing!! Here's a thought: dont dwell on the tough, depressing times...they just bring you down further!! Look at the positives in life :) Your baby's first steps, first words, first day of school, first highschool prom..... and thats only a grain of sand in the desert. Theres so much more!! Im going into starting a family with a positive mind and a smile on my face and we're going to enjoy every minute of it!Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01725358531257954556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3710836839996875134.post-21871814624173968242012-05-02T14:51:24.760-07:002012-05-02T14:51:24.760-07:00Let's be friends, friend/Let's be friends, friend/CMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18277448060103743373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3710836839996875134.post-28685261480316339402012-04-25T11:13:02.670-07:002012-04-25T11:13:02.670-07:00I know this feeling very well,
