Definitely number 10 with number 6 in a close second. I sometimes yell, loudly, and at the end of the day I feel like such a failure. The frustration and the yelling always sticks out at the end of the day and I fail to remember that I did many more good things than bad with my children. I must learn to have grace. Next I really need to start the habit of getting up before my children and taking a shower. The days that I do I almost always have a better day. Thanks for a great article!

[...] 10 things I have learned about surviving Motherhood so far… – The Creative Mama 1. MUST make time for yourself in order for you to get your gas tank filled up. Fiercely guard that “YOU” time to make sure you actually do it. You’re no good to anyone if you’re out of gas all the time. 2. MUST be surrounded by a support system (that is only a phone call away) of people who can commiserate, listen, and correct your thinking on those days when you’ve heard so much toddler talk that you can’t think straight.

Great article! Numbers 9 and 10 hit me the hardest. I’m a planner and a perfectionist. Those two things simply don’t go too well with young children. However, I am learning to be a little more flexible and to just let some things go.

Freedom- this was great! I needed the reminder that I CAN’T do it alone. I think #5 is really applicable to me right now. Hubby is living in FL right now (he just got a job) …we are trying to move back there. We have been apart for 4 weeks now, only talking on the phone. It is so hard to share feelings when kids are fighting for my attention and huuby is tired from work. So, sometimes I wish he COULD read my mind! LOL! Thanks again for your prayers Angie !

great article! i am severly lacking me time, sleep, and a support system. i am not afraid to ask for help when it is someone i can trust. but alas my support system lives out of state. my baby still doesnt sleep through the night and we dont have time in our schedules for me to have me time currently. but i will get through it. i agree with kika i want “kindred” friends thats probably why i find more things in common with people on the net since you can basically search out what works for you

Thank you again Freedom for sharing… love ya!

I realized after I wrote this, how “victimized” the title sounds. I think I will change it… From now on it shall be called “10 things I have learned about Overcoming Motherhood so far…” :)
We’re not survivors, we are OVERCOMERS!!!
Woo HOooo!

I have found that deep down most moms feel the way you do, Kika. You’d be amazed.
