...is a support group for women who have lots of kids. The churches have MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers), but there needs to be an additional group for me. Maybe not so much as a place to unload and whine, but a padded room with soft music, chocolate, tea, candles and enough books that have soothing, and possibly pathetic story lines...nothing that requires too much brain power.
The tendency is for folks to suppose that moms who've already raised a few to have the answers down pat (maniacal laughter heard in the background). I get so tired, probably not any more than a woman with toddlers, but the difference is that my body takes longer to recharge. Those of you with young ones would probably roll your eyes at that, but I believe it to be true. Sheesh, I get so tired, and there's no end in sight. I mean, I'm fifty and my youngest is seven years old...you do the math!
The solution? A sense of humor at what the Lord has blessed me with and enough diversions (like the Backstreet Boys music I've got playing now), so that I think of something other than myself.
It's easy to get sidetracked and think that it's all about me. Last I heard, it's not! I'm blessed and just need to figure out how to get a balance. I think I'm way too hard on myself, but know that there's a answer out there. Until I figure it out, I'll just blether on here as usual. ;)
