I'm Beginning To Believe That Nothing Is EASY Anymore
I go back and forth on a weekly, sometime daily, basis on where I want to live and raise our kids. I know the sole responsibility does not lie with me yet I feel the weight of it resting on me because I’m the mother. There are several other issues with which I change my tune weekly some of them being religion, home schooling, and various other things that I just don’t feel like talking about at the moment. You could call me indecisive or you could just agree with me that motherhood/parenting/life is NOT by any stretch of the imagination, easy or simple.
Every issue/problem/possible decision deserves ample attention and evaluation, and coming up with the right answer that is best for our family is hard. Gosh, I never thought it would be like this. I never thought I would obsess over the simplest things that I see some parents never give a second thought to. They just go along with the rest of the crowd. I guess it’s because the husband and I don’t go with the flow that often. We don’t do what everyone else is doing and that’s fine with us in our little world but something from the outside makes us (or me atleast) feel that I may be doing something wrong and that we are slightly psychotic(which actually isn't far-fetched since I posted a photo of myself in a bikini a couple days ago. Whatever possessed me to do this?) for living our life the way we really want to.
Will it ever get any easier? I don’t know but writing about it is a relief. Letting other parents in on my life through blogging with the possibility of making connections and support makes things seem a little easier and a little less isolating.
In other news, my husband is doing so much better. Thanks for all the well wishes and comments. I do appreciate it. We are recovering nicely at the in-laws. ;)
I thought I'd also let others know about a new contest I came across as well as the Mom singing contest approaching deadline next week. Get your mom singing contest entries in here today.

We do not go with the flow either and we are constantly trying to find our footing.
I am glad that we are doing it the way it feels right to us though. It gives me confidence to push forward.
I am glad your husband is on the mend.
It takes courage to step out from the crowd and blaze your own path and it certainly isn't easy, but I think it would be much harder to live a contrived life. Decisions are difficult when it comes to your family because there is so much at stake. You'll come to the best decision about all of those things and you'll feel good about them because you took the time and effort to consider them carefully.
I'm glad your husband is feeling better!
