Parenting..

Having two children 3 and under has really brought a lot of new perspective in my life.  I definately respect the job of parenting so much more (like 10 fold) and it has shed light on things that I thought about how it was to raise children.  I love children and have worked with them ever since I can remember from babysitting to in a group home setting and now the hospitalized child.  Working with children has minimal reality to what it actually means to be a parent 24/7 and this is ever so clear to me now having two.  The idea of teaching two minds everyday is amazing and all the while extremely exhausting.  There are days when I feel that I am the worst parent in the world.  The concept of everyday is a new day is so powerful when one bad day ends because it gives hope that the next can and will be different.  I love these little girls with every inch of my soul but there are many days that I am simply exhausted and can't imagine another day of teaching them the ways of the world.  The next day arrives and its completely amazing and I am super mom.  (or so I think;)  I blog a lot about the people in our lives and I really can't express the gratefulness that I feel to have amazing friends and family to help us raise these girls.  Thanks to all of you for your unconditional love and the endless support.  If I could repay you, believe me I would, because without you I don't know if I could do it.
