Learning to cope

Well . . . it seems difficult in my life right now to keep a blog as up to date as Tim's. I am easily overwhelmed these days and just try to get through to the next day. But I have learned that even though i may not have time for things now doesn't me that i will never have time for them. As a mom with 3 demanding kids and very little time to myself i have to look at my life in phases. Soon the boys will be more independent and i won't have to keep such a close eye on them, or be so involved in everything they do. And i have also learned that I can not be their everything. There should be other people in their lives to give them things that i just can't. Like wrestling, Wrestling is Daddy's thing, I don't need to be on the floor getting punched and jumped on because Daddy is around to do it and he likes it. This is a good thing for me, it is still hard to not feel inadequate when i cant give the kids something they really need but i am accepting it and learning to appreciate it.

jamie, i know that i don't enjoy getting down and wrestling either. nor do i enjoy building trains with josiah. that too is a daddy thing. i get to take them to parks and shopping at target. :) he loves to go there cuz he knows he'll get an icee and get to look at the thomas trains. you are a great mom, and even when we feel inadequate, our kids never think so! just try to remember that.

I love you James! You are a great mom because you continually show love to your kids. They know without a doubt that you love them unconditionally even in the difficult moments. Not many kids can say that about their moms & dads these days!

just think of all the things you must give them & do for them that no one else can, i can't even imagine how long that list must be!
