Oh Sarah your words spoke right to my heart. I too find myslef getting stuck. And saying my words with angry bents to them. I too dislike this part of myself and just want that part to go away. I am afraid of suggesting we talk to someone as I know a lot of this is me and I don't think I can hear more that what I already know. But maybe that's just what I need I need extra help. Guidance. It is hard doing this thing called being a wife and mother and keeper of the home.. In my case when you were never really taught how to do any of those things from your own mother. A mother who I have had to put up boundaries with and who has only seen my children a handful of times in their 5 and 3 year existence.
Wow, Sarah...this hit me in all the best ways. My husband and I are walking through a season that sounds exactly like this. I am all too familiar with being snappy, angry, mean...with that nagging question "is this as good as it's going to get?" Your honesty is helping me feel less alone today, and to hold out hope that the messy middle is what needs to happen before we get to that "after". Thank you friend.

Thank you for being so real and honest about the tough times that we can go through in marriage. Your words helped me feel less alone.
I too, feel less alone after reading this. Thank you!

“Every moment of independent play leaves a trail of Hot Wheels cars for the bottoms of my feet to find.
I just wanted to have one space in our home that felt like an oasis. Enjoyable. Calm.”
YES. I loved this reflection on the middle, the unglamorous and hard middle. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability.
