Walking around looking at things I've seen a hundred times and loving them just as much as I did before or maybe a bit more helps me remember that girl. That she's still in there, at the core, I'm still me. I still love what I love because I love it. Art has nothing to do with anyone else. Just what it says to you. Only you. <br /><br />I read your posts and read your comments to me and so often wish we could have coffee.QuirkyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071992365754376413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31188563.post-62926494653610369212009-07-12T21:47:01.647-07:002009-07-12T21:47:01.647-07:00There are those that define themselves by their fa...There are those that define themselves by their families. It is much of what is pushed on us as females in our society. The guilt of not loving every moment of being a parent, of parenting kids with some special needs, with balancing some of the needs of our own lives. I struggle with that guilt and sense I should love every moment. I don't love every moment and at times wish for a short vacation. I do take a deep breath (and should learn yoga). It is okay to look forward to school starting again. It is HARD on our kids when the regular schedule of school is upended for the summer. Hell, I teach school and I see it in my own son.<br /><br />Keep on trucking,<br />email is on the way!<br /><br />EvaEva LaMarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31188563.post-46640730124702981852009-07-11T19:13:54.714-07:002009-07-11T19:13:54.714-07:00I so wish I could show you what an amazing woman a...I so wish I could show you what an amazing woman and mom you are! Kuddos for doing the yoga...I don't even think I can do that. I hate exercise, even relaxing exercise or whatever you want to call it. It makes me miserable. Have a great trip.

You have more strength...You are fucking doing this.<br />You have more strength than you will ever know. I just wish for a minute you could be on the outside, looking in, and you would know just how much you are rocking this shit.<br />I totally feel you on the sibling fights. Holy cow, don't those numbskulls know they are supposed to be friends and leave their moms alone for a minute or two once in a while? I. Feel. You. Argh!<br /><br />Have a great solo trip. <3Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313924605458716612noreply@blogger.com
