I already feel a kinship with you because my middle name is Naomi.<br /> Thank you for the great interview. I am an overcommitter too but I learned something to help me. When it was a project at work, I always got the longest deadline that I could and the immediately took the pressure off. I beat the deadline each time. I was not so fortunate as my husband, my mother-in-law, father-in-law and sister did not support my staying at home with my son. So I worked 9 hours a day and always wantes more time with my son.<br /> I did do volunteer activities but always included my son as that was one way to get time with him. <br /> I am very interested in your new book. I have researched my mother's family and have found many of them in New England in Colonial times.<br /><br />CarolNWong(at)aol(dot)com<br /> <br /> Carol N Wonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873206816286352639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062776272512858294.post-25505716190741989762012-10-25T08:33:48.059-05:002012-10-25T08:33:48.059-05:00Great questions, Noami.

It is such a big state that is still much uninhabited so it is quite rural with farm lands and lots of forest. The rocky coast is breathtaking. I really enjoy the lifestyle here because it is very relaxed. Maine's a great place to live, or visit!

Sometimes it felt like I didn't have the time or the energy, but with so many energy drainers in live, attending the mom's group always re-energized me and it was a great time for reciprocal sharing. I think the boys even liked going weekly to see their little friends.

It is a work in progress and I think we do need to "pour ourselves a cup of grace" in these matters and just do better as we move forward.I think moms are too hard on themselves, wanting so much to be the perfect mom out of our love for our kids.<br /><br />I'm excited about becoming a Nana! I can't believe time goes by so fast and I'm now approaching that grandmother stage. They heard the heartbeat for the first time last week.
