that's really strange to think about. I thought I would hold off posting to prevent hormones from making an appearance, but I have a feeling if I wait that long my son will be out of the house by then. I have never experienced anything like giving birth to someone. Not all of it was good, but I won't go there, because that's not what I want to remember. Right now my son is peeling and looks like a snake or lizard during the moulting season. As the doctor said, that's normal, he's been swimming for 9 months, he's dried out.
Sometimes, when the emotions are down, I feel like I can do nothing but fail at this. Other times, when the emotions are high, I think wow, what exciting adventures will we experience? Right now I'm kind of doom and gloom. In these economic times I wish I had millions of dollars so I could spend the time with my son and not worry about bills, but that's reality. And as my husband puts it, this is our hard times right now, and the good don't come until you experience some hard. We'll see. I should probably take a break from the news channels right now! I'm a mother now, I have to be strong for my son, I have to teach him to trust and not fear. I just wish I could do it without having to live it. Then I look at my son, and all my fears are gone, and I just see how beautiful he is, snake skin and all.

ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you Bwoo! I'm so scared, but somehow reading this actually makes me feel better. I know what you mean about the economy and all. It's especially scary here because there's a small chance that the communists can gain a lot of power in the government - and then what will happen? But I know being scared doesn't help anything or anyone and its better to take one day at a time. It's just much easier said then done.
You are so strong and brave! We will pray for you and your family! Nick says hello. Btw what's your new address?
