day 182: life before kids

subject: life before & after kids
why? this happens to be another clipping from my husband. I tell you - he sends me all my info. I read this and it made me grow a tear.  I admit- I may have been of the opinion of why can't my friend call me, but I have kids and think that anyway. I guess before having a kid, my only complaint was once I was on the phone with someone with kids, it would always get cut short, or they spent more time yelling at their kids on the other end than they did talking to me. But I would like to think I was never really as bad as the woman who asked the question. I would like to think I was gracious & understanding towards my mom friends. I know I may have gotten a bit frustrated by not getting a return call, but like I said - I feel that way anyway right now when someone doesn't return a call.

Well my life after I had a child is definitely how Carolyn describes it. She did such a good just of saying what it is I do, because often days I go to bed and think to myself, what did I really do today? And it feels like I have not accomplished anything.  And I have to agree in my case, it really does take me 45 minutes to do that which used to take me 15 minutes.
I enjoyed this article because it reminded me what I do that is actually worth while and the joy I derive from doing it.
Sorry- no photos the past two days- I have tonsillitis.
