If you’re a mom and you’ve ever felt like you’re in a rut, you need to read this post! It’s by a fellow mom and she talks about the things every mom feels, but might not want to admit. We love our kids, and we love being moms, and we wouldn’t change it for the world, so why do we sometimes, deep down, feel like running away for awhile?

Here’s a little excerpt from her post:

Sometimes being a stay at home mom is like eating ice cream that has a little frost bite on it. You really love the ice cream so you keep eating it, but those little pieces find their way onto your spoon every now and again. It doesn’t make you stop eating it, since you love it so, but it does put a sour taste in your mouth every now and again.

And if you don’t like ice cream (*gasp!*), let me explain. As stay at home moms, we love our children. We would do anything for them. But there are days, weeks, even months, that can really beat us down. The kids aren’t sleeping well, they’re sick, you’re sick, they test you to see what you’ll let them get away with. Everyday. Leaving us drained of energy, our minds in a mental fog.

You really need to go read the rest of the post, though!
