Will I ever have the necessary wisdom to be a Mom?

I’m finally finished ready Little Women. I finished it 30 seconds ago and I sit here with tears running freely down my face. What an emotional book!
Rob and I are feeling mostly better today and are readying ourselves for the week. God is continually with us, even if we are going through the valley right [...]
[From Little Women, after the ladies learned in a telegram that Father had taken ill and was in Hospital in Washington:]Poor Hannah was the first to recover, and with unconscious wisdom she set all the rest a good example, for with her, work was panacea for most afflictions.
I am truly hoping that I’ll be healthy enough [...]

I just can’t help it. I have to share more of Marmee’s Wisdom from the book “Little Women” by Louisa May Alcott:
”Have regular hours for work and play, make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age [...]

I’m still in the very early chapters of “Little Women”, by Loiusa May Alcott. Someone said that their favorite part of the book was “marmee’s wisdom” and I didn’t know what they meant at that point. Now I do.
When Marmee was almost finished talking to her daughter about keeping her temper, they began talking about [...]

Birthdays
Rob’s is on Easter this year. My darling sweetheart hubby will be 38 in just a few days and he WILL NOT tell me what he wants for his special day. For my birthday, he spent a lot of money on getting a 16×20 canvas print of a photo I took of a barn near [...]

I’ve begun “Little Women” on dailylit.com and I’m laughing hysterically at the mishaps from Chapter 2 when the 2 oldest are getting ready for a party. This sentence was the last before the festivities:
Meg’s high-heeled slippers were very tight and hurt her, though she would not own it, and Jo’s nineteen hairpins all seemed stuck straight into [...]

My house is uber-clean right now. Every single thing is in its place.
As a favor to my cousin Ashton, I booked a Party Lite party when I was at hers. Well, the day of reconing ALWAYS comes, and I don’t want to have it. I didn’t invite many people and I am loathe to not [...]

Needing Her Fix
This morning, we braved the snowy roads and freezing temps to travel to the home of my parents. It’s so cozy and inviting there. I fixed the email program on their computer, and then we proceeded on to my Grandma’s house.
Grandma’s computer needed fixing too, and she’s been in poor health this last [...]

My new pet-peeve is everyone on the planet (even on TV shows and commercials) saying “Really?” even when it doesn’t actually make sense to say it.
Like the ad for some Hotel Reservation Service and every time the guy begins to speak, the construction noise starts. And when he could speak again, he says, “Really?” to [...]
