Parents

Parental units. I have two very good ones. I was wondering about being one yesterday. It appeared as if that was all I could see yesterday. I heard stories about their children from my staff, my sibling deleted parts about parenting from his blog and his wife mused on the joys and sorrows of parenting.

I have already discussed this with B and we would both like to get used to the roles of husband wife first. T wants to be an aunt but she is going to have to wait a couple of years. Or so...

I wobble on the idea of children. Somedays yes. Somedays no. But I want it to be a time when I am a definite yes. I have been told by a number of people about what a good mom I would make. I think I will but only because I have such great role models to look up to in that department. I have a great mom. She is so incredibly capable and smart and has such a wonderful wonderful sense of humor. She has such strength and grace. And it is the kind of strength that you don't see coming. I think she could have been a great queen. LOL And she is... just of a small country and population of 6.

I also see a great example in my sister-in-law. She and her daughter has such an amazing bond. She has a lot of the same qualities as my mom. She has a deeply caring heart and I love her desire to help others. She's a fantastic role model for her daughter. And yea, God, she is quirky but it is in such a way that it shows a joy of living. But she is not afraid of showing her folliables. And that takes such strength to show a weakness. She is crazy about M. and it shows.

Maybe that is what it takes... a little craziness : P or sometimes a lot : D

Good day and hug a mom today.

Certainly a lot going on in your life! Car, kids, job -- sounds like a whirlwind.

a small bit of advice - don't wait until you are ready, because you never will be :)

kids are a great and wonderful responsibility and you will never know how hard and joyful it can be until you have one. And you can never fully appreciate your parents until you do!!

hugs!
