I think our boys are all about the same age and I feel like I'm still figuring this life with 2 out. Some days the dishes get done and I feel good about things, while others I'm amazed we're all alive at the end of the day! Just when I thought I had this mothering thing figured out, along came #2 and God insisted I had more growing to do. In the end, it's hard, but good all in the same. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Ivy Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271289649352936258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21469458.post-27911468774887119882010-01-17T04:06:39.458-05:002010-01-17T04:06:39.458-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21469458.post-86554822924284993322010-01-16T00:38:26.113-05:002010-01-16T00:38:26.113-05:00Hey Ellen,
I cannot imagine how you are coping. ...Hey Ellen,<br /><br />I cannot imagine how you are coping. I only had one child and was overwhelmed! Some days I didn't know if Robert would live to see 4. ;) It seemed all I did was spank and correct him all day. But the light went on over his little head and he finally figured out if he did what I said he wouldn't get punished. It was a rough 3 years but the last 19 have been wonderful! Hang in there. It will get better. Robert is beginning his student teaching this semester. He was on the dean's list for Summer and Fall semesters with a 3.5 and 3.8 GPA respectively. Please send me your email address again. Outlook crashed on me and I've lost your address.

But you can do this, and I promise it...Two is <i>hard</i>. But you can do this, and I promise it really does get easier. Your evenings aren't gone forever, just for the time being. Someday all your children will be over the age of one and you'll be amazed. ;)<br /><br />However, it is true that you will spend the rest of your life in a state of sacrifice that you didn't have to exist in when you didn't have children. BUT...your life is richer, no?<br /><br />You remind me of me, though. I took it all kicking and screaming sometimes, too. :)Brandy Vencelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945305890488681685noreply@blogger.com
