I am really glad that I have cute kids, because they can drive me crazy! When you think of what becoming a parent means prior to actually becoming one..I thought sleepless nights, puking, crying, poop, social life over, sex life over and much more blah blah but you get a wonderful thing out of it! And most books seem to point to all those things as well. Well I am what I would say a dif type of mama but I am here to say for ME I have discovered that those things are the furthest from your mind when being a dedicated parent. Yes I am sometimes sleepless and yes I deal with poop and puke at times, but there are much more! Even with my kids being on their worst days, just one smile or hug can make it all so worth it! The books don't tell you even when you have a break from your kids you still think of them or worry or worse the guilt of leaving them. I remember in November Jason and I took a trip to Vegas, leaving the kids behind with my sister and mom. You know your a parent when everything reminds you of your kids, you walk into a store and go directly to not something for yourself, but to toys or something that reminds you of your kids. I can't help but worry will my kids be teased in school at some point??! That will be sooo hard to deal with, kids can be so very mean. Will my kids be athletic or play sports like I hope?? As much as I want that, I would be happy if Reese turned out to be a math geek winning competitions and stuff :) I guess being a good parents is just wanting your kids to be happy no matter what they choose?!
I think of this stuff all the time, being a good parent is HARD! It's the hardest of times and the best time's all in one. Reese is almost 2 and Dallas just 4 months, I have a feeling I have a long road ahead of me but so worth it :)
