Surviving Mud

by S Ferguson~ Prepping for Prep

Rated: 13+ · Book · Family · #2079509

A blog about my struggles and victories as a mother with all boys.

I was thinking about creating an off-site blog but I thought, why? I wouldn't be getting input from people who know me or that I have a connection with. This is going to be my real attempt at blogging.

A little about me and what this blog is about:

I am 33 years old and a mother of three boys and there is a lot of stress that comes with the job. And mess. And love

. We live in a small town in Ohio and I love it. We visit big cities here and there and it's such a relief to come home to a place that is familiar. I have four siblings of my own and I am the oldest. My parents had four girls and on their last attempt had my brother. He is fifteen now and was diagnosed with autism at an early age. My mom always says he is her favorite and we can't complain about it

.

I hope you enjoy my blog and feel free to share your parenting stories with me.

Hi Stephanie,

Every day brings it's own excitement, doesn't it? I can't imagine how hard it is for parents during this COVID crisis. Such a shift in schedule and increased stress. Sounds like you are doing it the best way possible, one day, one task at a time. I hope you achieve your goals. One thing is for sure, even if you don't everything accomplished, those you have completed can be chalked up as a 'victory'.

A double dose of mommyhood to start your day, eh? I hope the rest of it goes much better!

Welcome back! After so much time away, you must be itching to get back to writing. It's good to see you blogging again and I'm sure you will have lots to write about. I think a hiatus is good sometimes. We all go through seasons, but now it seems springtime has arrived. Take joy in that.

Sad news about your dad and mom. Sad for you as well as for your children. All children should have a chance to know their grandparents, all sets. My condolences.

I remember those days ... and once again wish I had opted for vasectomy at an early age

Hang in there, Mom ... you're doing just fine!

Sorry to hear that, Stephanie. Although I tried my best to do it for as long as possible with both my children, I found breastfeeding very painful for quite a while with each child before it settled down. So you have my utmost sympathy!

Oh yeah, I remember the poops. First my daughter then my grandson. I used to wonder how so much poop could come out of such a tiny body.

Hang in there, this too will pass.
