Mom Diaries: Confession of a Stay at Home Mom-Keeping Your Identity


"Journey of Stay at Home Mom Series" 


Keeping Your Identity


Are Introverts More Likely to Suffer From Anxiety?


Hi Warrior Chic’s! 


Today, I'm starting a journal series (nothing deep just expressing how I feel)  at times being a trucker wife and stay at home mom. Feel free to leave your on story or comment if what I post during the "Journey of Stay at Home Mom Series" resonate with your soul. 


First thing first, look at your little angels and smile. They are God little gifts to you. Be thankful. Then ask yourself this question, how did I get here? How did you get to the point that you have lost your identity and all you know is being a mom? I know you feel lost and depressed in really upset that theirs no excitement going on in your life.


I had 5 years to roll around in my misery. All I did was cater to my kids and husband. I felt like a lost puppy. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with myself or my life in general. I knew I had to do something fast or I was going to end up pulling my hair out along with every one else. 


If you have been a stay at home mom you will experience times that make you question your sanity. You will wander what in the world was I thinking. Being a mom is a lot of responsibility, that not even talking about the other duties we have to deal with, household bills, cleaning, and everyone in the household is depending on you to organize and keep their life together all at the same time.


You will question your choices and feel stuck and stagnant. However, I am here to tell you DON”T! What you have chosen is what you were meant to do at this time in your life; all you need is a little guidance and organization. God will never give you more than you can handle. 


You are a strong woman that is equipped with everything you need in order to get through this season in your life. You just haven’t tapped into it yet. Always remember regardless of what’s going on in your life right now, things could be worse. You may not realize it, but every moment that you are here, you are being tested and challenged however, you are physically and emotionally prepared to handle any situation, if you really wanted too.


It takes wisdom to build a house and understanding to set it on a firm foundation.

Proverbs 24:3 The Message


In order to get through the hard times you have to have a plan, have an alternative. In your alternative to handling your household responsibility is keep your identity. Don’t lose yourself just because you are a wife or a mom. 


Keep doing everything that made you happy before motherhood came into your life.  However, be realistic don’t just drop off your kids to go clubbing every night. Be yourself, while being responsible at the same time. 


Continue your hobbies; get your hair and nails done. Get a massage whatever; just never stop loving and taking care of yourself. How can you take care of your household if you can’t take care of yourself? 


Treat yourself first and you’ll be happier and more fulfilled. The time apart will help you enjoy the time you spend together as a family.


A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living. Charles Swindoll

The Lonely Life Of a Trucker's Wife

People don’t have a clue about being a wife of a trucker. They look at you like you got it made. “As if!” Being a trucker’s wife is a hard job.  Being a trucker’s wife and a mother on top of that is even harder. Not only do the wife have to muli-task, housework, laundry, run errands, pay the bills, when and if she receives a check from her husband. But, she also has the task of caring for the needs of their children school work, cooking, after school activities. In if she has an outside job Lord help her. A trucker wife has to manage and balance the income while her husband is away. She has to do the oil changes on the cars, any repairs that need to be meet, and let’s not forget about that forest that grows in the front yard yes, “mow the lawn.” She has to be a mom and dad to the children, along with running her husband errands. A trucker wife has to make sure things run as smooth as possible while her better half is on the road. A trucker’s wife dream of a fairy tale m...
