You are an exceptional mom because you don't put yourself in a box. You allow yourself to be YOU even given the limited time YOU are available to exist amidst the demands of motherhood. That's probably what I love the best.<BR/><BR/>Lovin your blog.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17020780856206891718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825412793517402149.post-4444920725916156622009-02-17T12:58:00.000-06:002009-02-17T12:58:00.000-06:00and Ang. sorry...just posted before i proofed!and Ang. sorry...just posted before i proofed!ethiopifinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13804387023386303505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825412793517402149.post-4964288748870272832009-02-17T12:57:00.000-06:002009-02-17T12:57:00.000-06:00Yeah, Ann, Emily, Jen...

Balance is just as important in our self concept as in personal relationships, nutrition, sleep, checkbook... Keeping it all in check is the challenge, and the support for a healthy outlook and "happy" outlook.ethiopifinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13804387023386303505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825412793517402149.post-9243190117009885192009-02-17T09:38:00.000-06:002009-02-17T09:38:00.000-06:00sometimes, when I need more, the problem arises th...sometimes, when I need more, the problem arises that I no longer know what "more" is. what is the Lone Me, as opposed to Wife Me or Mommy Me? i've changed---but into what?<BR/>~ann b.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825412793517402149.post-74360597956892656832009-02-17T09:22:00.001-06:002009-02-17T09:22:00.001-06:00You are a great mom Jen!

I love your mommyness and singing and I love that I can relate because I love and do the same things. And I get the need for creativity. If I'm creating, I'm a better mommy for it. We all need an outlet for that energy; something fun for ourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
