As a stay-at-home mom with babies, I often felt overwhelmed about my tubaligation and having my tubes tied. It was grueling to get up in the morning after too little sleep, take care of whining, sometimes sick, kids all day, falling to the bed exhausted, get up and do it all over again next day.
I have often thought about getting my tubes untied so having other stay at home moms that have also had their tubes tied is helpful.
One day blended into another, I began to feel as if this time in my life would never end. It was easy to take myself way too seriously and to become so enmeshed in my worries, frustrations, and fears that I failed to recognize the joys and rewards in my daily life.
My girlfriends and, Molly, and Judy were perfect at helping me lighten up. Since all three were also at-home moms, when I called them, moaning, “you won’t believe what my three-year-old just did”, they understand and respond with their own own exaggerated, and often hilarious, stories. Even better, they’d help me find humor in my situation.
