My sister-in-law Alicen posted this article in her blog and I read it through twice in a row because it made me feel so validated. I thought all the mothers that I associate would enjoy reading it as well. On the eve of having a second baby boy I feel it's especially pertinent to post.
I like the paragraph about resisting constant temptation to seek short-term relief at everyone's long-term expense.

How funny that I completely missed this post before I blogged today. I just replied to your comment, but congrats again on boy #2.
I laughed when I read this article because I totally feel like the gal from Tacoma, WA. I'm so burned out by the end of the day and I feel like I'd get so much more done if I were home 24/7. Maybe I should have thought about self employment. I think I get the whole principle of completing something in 45 minutes when it should only take 15. I'm ready for the life altering stage of motherhood. I say, bring it on!
hey thanks for the article... my favorite part was using constant touch, constant use of your voice. boy for having a 4 year old that for some reason I feel she cant keep quiet and a 2 1/2 year old that uses only 1/4 of the words he has in his brain (deep in his brain) I sure am constantly using my voice...
but hey. how could you ask anyone to relate unless they have kids anyways...right?
I am steeling this article by the way.
Wait...what? Second baby boy? You had a baby? Ummm...I feel so...EXCITED and sad that I had no idea, and that I haven't talked to you guys in a very long time. How are you? Congratulations! That is awesome! Please, please please fill me on the details (name, etc..) when you get a moment.
Loved this article by the way. Every word of it rings true.
Hope all is well with you and your cute family.
