raising children is not for kids



had some thoughts today
about how much work
and joyful pleasure
one receives from
raising children

you must be ready to say
"goodbye" to your selfish
days of me, myself and i.

also, you have to remember
you are responsible for another
human being's life....talk about
being worried about your
sick dog or cat! this is no
greasy kidstuff! lol

seriously though.....i watch my clients
with their kids and making decisions
taking into full account their children,
the schools, the neighborhood, and
so many little details...is the bedroom too
far away from my room (?)....and the
list goes on

i am so grateful to see that side of
life.....it's refreshing to see all
the great parents this world really
has to offer.

i know that watching clients and friends
with their kids, holds up a mirror
to my own childhood and all the
careful, well~thought out, and sometimes
maybe not so well~thought out plans
that go into making life-impacting
decisions

congratulations to all the wonderful
parents out there!!

also, special thanx to my own dad
who has not always had it easy
(more on that another time)

enjoy your weekend
whatever or wherever
you may find yourself.

taking the kids to the movies?

beach? the park?

maybe just chill @ home
and avoid the traffic

be safe and bye for now
