It's nice to know many others are going through it too. While having babies is exciting and defenitely one of life's undisputed miracles, there is an aspect of it that changes you forever. I've been raising my kids for X amount of years, and I've lost who I am. She uses the anaolgy of a leaky rowboat. You can either cry about the fact that you're up to your knees in water, or you can grab that bucket and bail the boat out, something you'll have to do again and again as eventually, the rowboat fills up again.
Every piece of advice is peppered with humor.
A must for every mom. This book is a real look at what most of us moms are going through- loving our family, but wondering when we will have time for ourselves, and why we are so suprised that everyone's needs are being met, but somehow, not our own. I felt this book not only spoke to my struggles at being a mom, wife, carpooler, volunteer and holding a job, but certainly made me feel as if I were not alone on this treadmill. The best advice she gives is to look forward, and that we will never be the single girls we once were, so it is time to create a new identity and take care of ourselves, so we can enjoy our lives NOW and in the future. A reader Laugh here and there and all the way through.
