Where to start? It's funny to think sometimes that just a few years ago I was a single gal without children. I now have a wonderful husband and two beautiful boys, one 2 years old and one 2 months old. To say this is a busy time in my life would be an under-statement. Would I change it.....not a chance.
Being a mommy has given me such an appreciation of my own mother. I know now how she must have felt raising me, and believe me I know I wasn't the easiest kid to raise. I was, and still am, a very stubborn girl. I like things my way. You get a feeling for what it's like to not have your way once your get married, but having kids is a totally different thing. I can't just sleep in anymore or watch T.V. when I want. Now I have tol worry about what's on the T.V. that the kids might see and listen out for crying babies down the hall. While I used to stay up late because I wanted to (usually out with friends or watching movies or working night shift as a nurse), now 9pm sounds like a good bedtime to me. If only my kids thought so too. I dream of the day I can sleep in late and no longer fall asleep trying to watch a movie with my husband at 8pm on the rare night that I've actually gotten both kids to fall asleep early. It's funny how the simple things become so important after you have a child.
Interuption......my littliest is now crying....to be continued....any thoughts out there. I love to hear what other mothers are thinking and what they are going through on a daily basis.
