I was considering going back to work just so I could feel appreciated again. <br /><br />http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2010/04/and-upon-the-handmaids-in-those-days-will-i-pour-out-my-spirit?lang=eng&query=handmaid<br /><br />The quote from Sister Eliza R. Snow was a slap in the face and the section on how to measure success was what I needed. Read it. It's wonderful.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05186602845907657236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515569105344974258.post-32086262829088094772012-03-29T19:22:28.012-07:002012-03-29T19:22:28.012-07:00I am a big list person and I do feel good when I c...I am a big list person and I do feel good when I can cross off what I have done for the day- and if I finish something and go to cross it off and find out I hadn't added it to my list I just add it right then and cross it off : ) I try not to compare myself to other Mothers by the way my children act because that will only bring upon me guilt or pride....I count my day a success if I took time to teach my children rather than order them around and if I get the basics done for the day.Summer and familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738420758256975345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515569105344974258.post-54179195252331268302012-03-29T07:29:59.811-07:002012-03-29T07:29:59.811-07:00This has always been hard for me.

Having pictures and explanations documenting our lives helps me to step away from it and see the beauty it is unfolding. I think giving yourself mental "high fives" is a great idea. I do that for after nap snuggles or sick days when I just held the child. Reasons I am proud of my decision to be a stay at home mom. In a college business class our teacher encouraged us to keep lists of the "little victories" each day in our business. This easily translates to home and would be good for blog or journal. Little victories for me would be Finally scrubbed toilets when it started looking like a men's room at 7-11...or clipped everyone's nails (that's 100 nails counting my own!). So I guess I wrap it up to realize I still feel compelled to keep score, this is just my own way of doing it :).Bobi Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691254928223482975noreply@blogger.com
