After 5 years of motherhood and part-time working, I deserve it, right?<br />It's always nice to read a new writer.

I like sitting in the pew behind the multi-children families, though, and knowing I'm not the one dealing with the raisin boxes flying through the air-- but then I kinda want it (the kids, not the raisin box).literaqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03662045832957347500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19703534.post-60722939302497870612009-09-06T09:24:31.324+09:002009-09-06T09:24:31.324+09:00Thank you Trace.

I also called number one some not very nice names in my head. You are a GOOD MOM, K. The wonderful kids you've raised show it. Besides, I think Natalie might have been an android. Nobody is THAT nice. ;-)Tracy P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05024680622161247417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19703534.post-34026146864975156962009-09-05T03:46:04.225+09:002009-09-05T03:46:04.225+09:00I always assume that I will be thrilled when my hy...I always assume that I will be thrilled when my hypothetical children go back to school.Kristina P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16144488639100871226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19703534.post-92088538086713752412009-09-05T01:46:27.417+09:002009-09-05T01:46:27.417+09:00I feel you there even though I only have a two yea...I feel you there even though I only have a two year old and a 4 month old. I find myslef in this circle of feeling quilty for not spending enough time with my kids to thinking they need to learn how to handle things themselves or entertain themselves sometimes. They need that. When I do then I start feeling guilting again. I guess these feelings are probably normal with motherhood. What a great experience it is even though it is very hard, guess you just have to find the balance.Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09241642594777542059noreply@blogger.com
