For years I have thought about making a blog. A place to unwind, a place to capture all that goes on in 24 hours with our family. It can be very helpful to document your daily thoughts, it allows you to later explore and disect what really happens.
As I sit here, at 6:45am, I have my back to a large bay window, I can see heavy fog rolling in and all I can think about is making this day go smoother and more efficiantly then the last. Get the kids ready and to school on time, get this house back in order while the husband is at a conference, make time to relax, afterall, thats what Moms should do while the children are at school, right? Well, that never actually happens.
My husband and I have been talking about having a third child for a couple years now. We thought we were done after 2 boys, but my heart is telling me a third baby will complete our family. 99.9% of me agrees with my heart, that other .1% is screaming very loudly "your nuts". Is it really best to wait till everything in your life is perfectly in place? there is enough money? enough house to fit you all? If I thought this was best, then I wouldn't have any children at all. I don't agree that it's best to wait for things to fall into place, you should do what makes you happy. And after a recent miscarriage, I never realized just how important it is to me to have another child, and I am so happy to be able to say my husband is 100% behind me on this. We are young, most of our friends are still single, but we always knew getting married and having a family was our top priority. And sure I have another solid 10 years of prime baby making life in me, but do I really want 2 teenage children and an infant? I think not. Sibling bonding is very important.
The clock is now approaching 7:00am and the kids have to get up for school, so this is where my free time ends and Mommy time begins.
