I'm insanely jealous of you for being able to juggle kids and a career . . . I only wish I knew how to do that! And, it's one thing talkign about your success with a three year old. I'm sure the list will be MUCH shorter in a few years when they start talking back and having attitude.Jessica Stockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08944990982584233095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823847273927280303.post-76391718728403230352008-10-16T00:55:00.000-06:002008-10-16T00:55:00.000-06:00Well, isn't there a saying that goes like this, th...Well, isn't there a saying that goes like this, the proof in the pudding is in the eating? Or something like that. You ARE obviously a great Mom because you have GREAT kids. I hear you on the working mom guilt complex.

I DO consider you a patient person, or at least gentle in any impatience. You are forgiving. You are quick to smile. These are all things that add to your kids being terrific.

I know them, so I don't just have to take your word for it!<BR/><BR/>The other AMEN I want to scream is that you are an awesome cook. I've had the great fortune of learning that first-hand too!<BR/><BR/>As for the other stuff, the silly stuff, that whole complex of yours, all I can do is roll my eyes and say, "wow, she really has no idea how amazing she is." <BR/><BR/>Which is, i suppose, yet another reason to adore you.Brillighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694582598855276158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823847273927280303.post-41232413253136029552008-10-15T16:00:00.000-06:002008-10-15T16:00:00.000-06:00Heather, that may be the very key to this little l...Heather, that may be the very key to this little list assignment of yours -- bring out the good things we do so we can focus on them more, create habits out of them, and become more consistent...eventually. I think it's a great assignment. I might even try it again sometime. :)charrettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351177033783487168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823847273927280303.post-70947542811934723322008-10-15T15:47:00.000-06:002008-10-15T15:47:00.000-06:00You know that pretty list of mine?

I hope to focus on them more so I live them more, but I SURE as H don't have it down. <BR/><BR/>All day today I've avoided being connected to my kids - it doesn't come easy to me. I have to force it and that makes me feel bad. Some days I'm just out of it. I'm trying not to be so mad at myself when I have those days. <BR/><BR/>If my kids turn out half as good as yours, I'll finally breathe a sigh of relief :)<BR/><BR/>You have an amazing heart. I suppose that rubbed off on your kiddos. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for a beautiful post.Heather of the EOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607422301391841377noreply@blogger.com
