Today I'm grateful for this old ensign article I came across yesterday.
LDS.org - Ensign Article - When You Feel Inadequate as a Mother

I wish I could express what this woman's words meant to me. I hope if any of you are feeling discouraged about being a mom it will help you too.

It was such a relief to find someone else who has struggled with the same feelings I have about being a mom. I'm afraid I'm smack dab in the middle of the adolescent stage of motherhood, however, it good to know it's normal and I can do something about moving forward now.

Also, I've struggled with my personal prayers and scripture study. Especially scripture study. Why should I bother if I'm just going to be interrupted every single time? I realized as I read this that that isn't going to change, however, if I'm diligent in trying the Lord will give me the strength and answers I need in the time I do have (even if its only 5 min) as long as my heart is soft and willing to accept His answers.

I'm grateful that I can find answers to my prayers even when I'm surrounded by chaos if I'm willing to loose my attitude and listen.
