The potty arrived today. I hope he learn quickly that the potty is more than something he sits on and sings songs to himself. His singing is great. Melodious and soothing. I know he does not sing any words. One hurtle at a time. I hope his singing will lead to the use of actually words instead of the grunts and sign language he currently uses.
It will all take time. I am in no rush. Where am I going?

Broken but still good.
This morning I woke up feeling so good. Then I stepped out of the bed. It all came rushing back to me.
I was not 20. I walk with a limp. I am not a well person.
I have three children who do not accept the excuse that mommy needs a few more minutes of sleep.
I want to try and have very little change. I cannot be the mommy that spoils her kids. I can just be here to listen to their problems. I guess that will have to be enough.
I know that everyone expects my kids to be like me. They expect my kids to be morning people. Only two of them are morning people. The oldest never will be a morning person. I am lucky she gets to school on time.
People say I have to watch out for my son. Because he will be bigger than me. He will have a lot of testosterone. He already has a lot of testosterone.
I still believe that if you treat a child with respect and love. They will treat you with respect and love.
We are not idiots. We will invest in plastic cups and bowls.

Good morning
Good morning world. I recently had a moment of weekness.
Maybe I am getting too oldI I will be 38 soon. I am getting too old for the B.S. I vented recently about my MS and how long I was diagnosed. I was diagnosed when my oldest daughter was a year and a half. I tried to be a supermom and a supportive wife. I did a lot and I made myself sick with worry. I did not want anyone to take my baby girl away from me. Now I have 3 great kids.
Two of them look like me. The oldest looks tike her dad.
I tried my best to raise the oldest girls to never be taken advantage of. To be leaders and not followers.
Now that I have a son The boy I always wanted. I have to put aside my own fear. The fear that I am not good enough. I hope I am able to help raise a strong man. After all I am lucky enough to not be alone.
To me a strong man is not afraid to say that he needs help.
A strong man knows he does not have all the answers.
I pray ghat God gives me the wisdom to raise such a man.
I also pray that God gives me enough days on this earth to see my kids grow up to br who God has planned. I believ there is a plan for all of us.
I ghink I am just going to enjoy today
The Present is a Gift. At least that is what they say.

What is in store for me
Hello Everyone
Today is th third day of the week. I am a little closer to starying back I stayed away and now I am back.
