My heart goes out to you - I can SO identify with what you are saying and feeling.... and while on one hand I tell myself that there is time to accomplish and experience all that I so long to, I feel the press and the push, too. I feel that this is one of the biggest "costs" incurred by becoming a mother - this constant balancing act between the needs and wants, the pulls from all different directions. I wish I had sage wisdom to offer you. I do have understanding, if that helps at all. :0)Charityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02806980148214023737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-20413305799124109752006-09-22T06:15:00.000-07:002006-09-22T06:15:00.000-07:00You're so productive!

Allo...You sound like you're in a growth spurt. Allow for some growing pains...and remember when you stop growing, you die.<br><br>If we never show our faults and deficiencies to our children, they will grow up thinking we have none, and that sets a pretty high bar for them. One of the best parenting moments I've had in years came recently, when I completely fell apart in a sobbing puddle because I just couldn't take the never-ending ceaseless guilt I felt for being so damned inadequate.<br><br>They loved it.<br><br>Anyhoo, the sweater into bag trick is miraculous! The ciabatta and its bearer are a marvel, and the blur is growing up mighty fast. So cut yourself some SLACK.

You might like Peace Is Every Step, by Thich Nhat Hanh, if you don't already know it. It's good for shutting down my monkey mind for a while. <br><br>The recycled sweater creations are great. I love my butt sweaters. Unfortunately, part of my feeling overwhelmed is that I used the simplest possible diapering plan short of disposables, and that does not involve wool.<br><br>So, thank goodness your blog comments are supposed to be all about me.amyhttp://scottfamily.blogs.com/noreply@blogger.com
