Moms need hugsToday started out rather emotionally for me, for no apparent reason (well, besides the fact that I'm a woman, I gave birth a few weeks ago, and I only got 4 hours of sleep last night!). I explained it to Yehoshua. "Moms need hugs. In fact, the more children they have, the more hugs they need. So you and Daddy and Eliyahu and Ruth all need to give Mommy lots of hugs, okay?" Some hugs, an attitude adjustment, and a nice afternoon nap (in that order!) made the rest of our day much more pleasant. :) Dear Tammy . I am regular visitor of ur website.I really enjoy reading ur recipes and trying out. They are very original and unique ones. I really admire ur stamina. Cheers and Goodluck www.pearlsofeast.blogspot.com Oh Tammy! I am the most emotional person during that period right after a baby is born. I just get extra sensitive. I wind up crying over things that wouldn't usually make me cry. I don't know if anything like that was going on for you, but if so, you're not alone. Somehow it is a part of what makes that time special, though. I am glad to hear things went better for you. :) I had an emotional day too, and got lots of hugs from my kids. I didnt get a nap though.. maybe that would've helped me out.  Hugs, Tammy! I'm glad to hear the rest of your day went well. I had a "bad" day on Thursday. Everything went wrong, it seemed.... Anyway, after a late lunch, the afternoon went so much better. ~Tanya Just not getting enough sleep is enough to make me emotional, without the hormones adjusting after birth and a new baby to take care of! Hugs do make things so much better. Sometimes I ask my little guy (2) for a big hug if he has been constantly getting in trouble, so I can cuddle him instead of feeling like all I do get after him. Seems to even help him sometimes. :) Tammy, I have had days like that. I'm so sorry you were feeling down. Your kids were very understanding and sweet, I'm sure! Tammy, Hugs to you from our family too, Tammy. I think of many of the lessons I've learned having children, to try not to let my emotions get the better of me- especially after a child is born, or when I know that I am hormonal has been one of the most significant. Tracy Hope you're feeling better soon, Tammy! I've been "lurking" here for months... your blog has become my favorite to read for a while now... I always consult your blog plus allrecipes.com whenever I need to whip up something new... I love your recipes, your love for your family, your diligence, your down-to-earth-ness (great word, right?), and your faith. Thank you for being so real to us, and for the encouragement you are to so many (me!), to stay the course and excel in my job as a wife and mom. Congratulations on your beautiful little girl! (I'm a little jealous of your easy delivery though!... I just had a baby in November after a 32 hour labor. I just can't fathom laboring as short as you did!) ;o) Best regards, Shelly http://shellyfishersblog.blogspot.com 
Yep, Moms need hugs!! :) I remember 20 years ago after my daughter was recently born, commercials on t.v. would get me all teary eyed! there was a johnsons lotion commercial with the song "take good care of my baby,..." and one about a long distance telephone call! they would get right to my heart everytime! my kids are 20 and 17, I think with fondness of all our times together. I'll have them always and so will they. So will you. Just wanted to send another hug your way. Ruth is the most precious little girl I've seen in quite a while (at least since mine was born anyway). You are so blessed to have such a wonderful family and we are all so blessed because you share with us. Hang in there. Amy You are so right that moms need hugs too. I personally had one of "those" (well, lots with all my morning sickness) days lately, and I heard my youngest son tell my husband, "Mommy needs to know we love her too," after my son saw me cry (which I typically try to hide) after a frustrating moment earlier in the day. I think sometimes I am afraid to just say, "You know, family, I'm feeling low right now and could use a bit of encouragement in any form," because I always feel the responsibility to keep things happy and light around the house. If someone's down, I feel I have to be the one to brighten his/her day, when sometimes, I wish for the same brightening but just am too "tough" to ask for it. I try not to be too emotional in front of my kids, but looking back on the few times I saw my mother sad or emotional, it reminded me that she was human and needed love too. I think it actual helped me have compassion for others. Our kids learn so much from just watching how we deal with our own feelings or how we respond to the feelings of others. I'm glad you're feeling better after some extra rest and especially the hugs. . . Hugs from me too! Emily Post new comment |
