Can ya'll believe it's december? This is
something that I heard before I had
children that describes how it feels when
you have children. I think about almost
everyday and they are my feelings exactly.
The days are long, but the years are
short.
I really have a hard time caring for my
two babies and keeping my sanity. I
remind myself that they will be gone
before I know it, and I need to cherish
the time we have now. The ladies on this
site have really helped me get some
'adult' interaction, and I feel better
than I have in a long time. Before I had
children, I nannied for about 5 years. I
continued to do this, bringing my daughter
with me, until I had the second one.
Then, 3 boys and 2 girls was too much for
me to handle. I joke and say that my
boys (the boys I nannied since they were 6
weeks, 4 & 5) got the best out of me.
By the time my girls came I felt like I
already had 3 children. Some was good
because nothing bothered me as far as the
new mom spaz stuff that we go through.
Sorry to be rambling, but like I said I
need to be interacting with some women.
I have been with children my whole life!!!
Here's the other phrase that I think
about often -
a virtuous woman makes decisions today to
keep her future free from regret.
It makes so much sense. If only I
learned it when I was about 12!
anyway, a couple things to help during the
hard times with babies and in any decision
making you have to do. Does anyone have
any other 'mottos' they live by? Anyone
have any resolutions for the new year?
