But honestly its not that difficult. I could be a starving HIV-positive mother of nine in Uganda, but instead I'm healthy and have a nice place to live and my family's needs are taken care of. I know this all sounds trite but it really does help me put things into perspective.

That's also a very good idea..thank you. I am blessed with 2 happy healthy beautiful boys who I wouldn't trade for anything else.

I also asked myself that question (How do they do it?) to moms with twins, triplets, more than one....and now I have more than one child and I realized that we moms just do what we have to do. We just do it.

I don't share a lot of the same parenting philosophies as BIL and SIL but they obviously did something right. They are both pretty cool kids!

Mind if I ask for some tips how to raise wonderful delightful teens. I think my spirited toddler is gonna be a tough one.

The weather does have it's contributions. Right now it's freezing outside and I just don't want to go out. But staying in does make all of us agitated. Then once you go out, you wish to come back home...
