Raising Children

No one told me it was going to be so hard. Ok, actually quite a few people told me it would be the hardest job of my entire life. But you just don't GET it until you are actually responsible for another human being every single day for the rest of their lives. I think, honestly, if people really KNEW how hard it was going to be, there would be a lot less baby-birthing going on.
No, that's not true. See, all the really good things in life are usually the same things that require the most time and effort. Sometimes I just want to bury my head in a hole, but right before I get the edge, Haleigh walks up and hands me an original custom-designed "I Love Mommy" masterpiece. Then I breathe deeply, refuel, and power on.
