Raising Mothers: Waking the Dead - On a School Morning

Loving Your Children

If anybody knows me, they know I love my children. But loving your children doesn't make you a perfect parent or person. God knows I've made some mistakes along the way. Provide a structure, but one that gives a little. A structure that will provide flexibility in case of an earthquake. LOL! I guess you could call it Earthquake proof! Get to know each of your children, their personalities and styles. God blessed me with three different people and they are truly a blessing thru the good and the ugly! LAUGHING! Yeah, it can get ugly sometimes. smiling.

Are You Stressed?

A mother's daily life is full of demands, to-do's, get dones, and even a few hassles. Have you allowed stress to become a way of life for you? Are you always on the edge or find it difficult to cope with simple matters of life?

All stress isn't bad. Stress can help you perform under pressure and cope with demanding days and deadlines, but when you constantly move in fifth gear, your mind, body, and soul suffers.

Whether you work inside your home or outside your home, it's always helpful to recognize symptoms and signs of stress.

Visit Mom's Peace Place and let's talk about stress.

It's 6:15 AM and my alarm goes off -not because I have to get ready for work but because my teenage daughters need to get up and ready for school.. I get up - walk to each of their rooms - turn their lights on and tell them to "Get up" - Sometimes I'll hear a grunt or two - or maybe an "okay".. Then I go back to bed to ~~sleep~~ rest my eyes... And every 15-20 minutes - I will holler to my lovely daughters - "GET UP NOW!!" I will hear lies through the walls - "Mom, I'm up" or "I'm dressed"... I know they are lying because I don't hear their IPods playing their awful music (Man, I just did sound like my mother - didn't I?) and I don't hear them walking around... I have Mommy ears and I do hear everything. Read More

Crazy Mom of 5

This is for all the mothers who NEVER won "Mother Of The Year," and all those to busy being a mother to care.

This is for all the mothers who freeze their you know what on metal bleachers instead of watching from cars, so that when their
kids ask, "Did you see my goal?" They can say, "Of course, I wouldn't have missed it for the world,"

This is for every mother who ever sat up all night with a sick toddler in her arms. Wiping the child at both ends, while saying, "It's okay, honey, Mommy's here."
