On The List

Parenting....Round 2
On My Gratitude List
My energy level may not be what it was in my 20's during
Parenting Round 1, yet I am absolutely grateful for the
blessing of having these little
(OK, not so little...they are growing like weeds) girls.
They are delightful. Even with the challenges we face with
Katherine and Aspergers Syndrome
(which becomes more and more pronounced with age)
I would not have life any other way.
I seriously can not picture my life without them. My nest
would have been "empty" three years ago..something I
would have not been ready for.Being a mother is the best "job" in the world. I loved being a mother
to the boys when I was 20 and now I am happy I have
had the opportunity to "extend my contract" by having little
ones later in life. I know...I know...even when they leave the
nest...I am still mothering...it is just different once they fly away
and only land at home occasionally.

Another part to this list...
Parenting Both sets of children with the same man...
my dear husband and friend, Ron.
Life is good.
