Now I'm not your typical mom of 5 as 2 of the kids are my step daughters, but I think about them daily, and worry and plan and give money and buy things and pray and hope.... there doesn't seem to be one month that goes by that something is not going on with my step daughters.... last week was a car accident they got into where a lady passed a red light and crashed into the side of my 21 yo's car, which also held her husband, younger brother and my 19 yo step dd. they are all fine, but banged up and a lot of drama still going on.... as a mom I worry and pray and worry some more about their well being and how little control I have over their actions...
Here at my house, with my own 3 children, there is never a quiet moment, except maybe when they are all sleeping :). Unless one has a nightmare, or my 4 yo wakes me up at 2 am to give me a hug, or they all have 45 mosquito bites and can't sleep, or are hot.. and on and on, lol
Right now my 9 yo has a heat rash on his upper thigh, 3 mosquito bites, and lost his flashlight so he can't read in the dark before bed, something that he does every night...my 4 y0 is uncomfortable on the pull out sofa bed, but doesn't want to go to bed in her bed.....and my 6 yo J is herself.. bouncy, rambunctious, adorable, silly, loving sweet self. I am hoping she falls asleep soon because she is tired...
The two older ones had tennis today, which was followed by running around with friends.
I am sitting here thinking hmmm what would we be like as a family with one more baby? Could we do it? Could we afford it? Honestly I love my life, and my children and reflect constantly on how fortunate I am to be able to stay at home with them and see them grow and learn new things and realize that they have learned smt new and know that it is because of something I did or said that they know these new things...
