If I'm Diapering a Watermelon, Then Where'd I Leave the Baby? by Carol Barnier (2004, Paperback)

I bought this because I am a stay at home mom that homeschools. I have 3 kids all about 6 years apart...not on purpose I promise...ages 14, 8, 1. This last one really showed me how old I was and what a difference in my ability to be the mom I was for the last one. I can't remember as much...can't seem to stay focused...can't seem to get anything done. I was beating myself up and comparing myself to other moms who seem to "have it alltogether". I heard about this book through a "Focus on Family Weekend Edition" I was listening to one Sunday morning while doing my paperroute. (yes, I do that ,too!) She, Carol Barnier, said things that made me feel like she had been peeking in my house and seeing my life!
When I got the book...I "drank" it up. I cried in many parts...sweet relief to know that I was NOT a failure. I laughed in many parts...reading about her trials and how she over came them. I was just so thankful to get real help with all the issues I was having. She gave me back my smile and peace of mind and now instead of dreading each new day because I felt I was a failure, I can use some of the tools she gave me and make the day better.
This book was such a blessing to me and I thank God for having a kindred spirit who was willing to speak the truth!!
If you feel like you are drowning and reaching the end of your rope with all the tasks of each day and not being able to cope with them...this is the book for you.
