S throughout the process

S throughout the process The northeast corridor has clobbered by heavy snow and ice this week, leaving many parts of New York City metropolitan area without electricity for several days. Our small country is no exception, most of Ridgefield is without electricity all day Wednesday. Widespread sympathy for the victims of Katrina and last year? S Asian tsunami bubbles immediately to the head of my thoughts. And everyone in our family together with some sadness that we rely on electricity and running water. N. water, no coffee, no phone, was not inteet.There my plans for the day. Enjoy a moing shower (after taking a hard workout) to hang my hat was like a star, as was work on my website (I? M in the middle of a project to remodel the Inteet), retued phone calls and capture in a laundry. Visions of escape to the nearest city to a shopping mall and a cinema was looking better and better experience, to review my schedule and realized he had some responsibility was to maintain, if in any way possible. Conference call (hmmm? It can be done by phone, I think, even if, at least my car idle to charge the battery of my phone and aren? No gas prices at an historic high?), Violin lessons (not There is no excuse as a school of music, in fact have the power), bill payment (which you can make a candle, if necessary). And, like it or not, the reds can be separated from white on the floor of the laundry, in the light of that grunt day.So out, children and spouse I. While in the Florida sun for a period of three days of withdrawal (which was fortunately out of town for most of our power outages), we did the best we can, in the absence of all imaginable and my knight shining armor.We were sailing along smoothly (who's quite surprising what a big hot cup of Joe can do for the spirits oppressed, even if one must drive through two lines of the city to do so), when just before becoming the main road that leads to the school of music, one of my truck tire was completely flat. Nothing. As long as the metal of the rim. It 's just a figure. Eie out of town. Perfect time to be a sweaty Stinky-bad-hair-hungry-cold-damsel in distress. It happens every time.Having just finished my lesson, I was mentally at least, still absorbed in his message? And throughout the process. The lesson applies to the professional writing and speaking, but now, with two tired and hungry children in the back seat of a house and I am totally unequal sides a city other than my own, I kept reminding me:? No? s on all processes Carolina. Take a deep breath and go through the process. How to become a writer or teacher of prestige, becoming a seasoned mother has to do with the process. As a writer has published a single article is not an expert, or a mother with a baby. It takes years and years of trial and error, mistakes and victories, denial and acceptance at the last? Do. No? Sa process.I quickly enough to mind my first experience of a flat tire. Although I can not remember as occurring on a day that also lost power (a little 'odd mix of facts), it is disturbing. Waiting for rescue strap-children-as-a-car-seats in tow, it was not possible to repair comfortably even ten years ago. And I was nothing less than a flat tire Bumbling neophyte (or stupid, depending on the talk.) No? I do not know the first thing about how to tackle the task at hand. Call AAA or call her husband? Leave the car or stay? Having someone to put on the spare car to the nearest tire shop? She began to laugh or cry? But after having lived a certain number of tires? And power outages, coffee and withdrawals from bad hair days?. Experience that the process much better this time (but not the power, not food, not a combination of coffee that was not particularly pleasant and fun). But I understand (sort of anyway) what to do. AAA call my cell phone (which I did in my car? S battery while driving thirty miles violin) allow children to walk three blocks to their classes (despite my fear of foul play in the path); phone hubby sympathy ( I told him my plan was wrong to perennial and should opt for Plan B), and take a cat nap while awaiting permanent (as opposed to any break in the routine of tears.) and after replacement is put on hold as a guide to nearest shopping mall-with-a-Sears-auto-shop-assistant of a new tire, dinner and shopping experience quickly took over five hours. Y? S that was not what it funner? S was in the past. I was still thirsty usual, there were still remnants of sweat clinging to my body without rain, and I am still suffering from a bad hair day. What? S right for me? I went further up the process. I? I have suffered most emergency situations. In the face of great challenges. He fought more battles.The process of motherhood is not immediate results. Quick fix. Flash-in-the-pan success. Motherhood requires embracing the challenges that come almost every day on our way. Acceptance of difficulty. And pain. Suffering. And more and more in the process. The act of going through the process has its own lesson. And even their rewards.Growing is not particularly easy. (See all the pre-pubescent child, if you need further proof.) This is introspection. Stroke. Falling flat on your face. But the process is inevitable, and won? Not being the kind of mother who wants to be unless you go through the process it.Embrace. While painful to endure the pains of growth. By holding the next few years after you think it should be fine, take your card through them. Nobody said it would be easy. Nobody told you to take this long. Ma? S some not easily measurable? Or easily accessible? results. What?
