| Are we crazy to take on parenting at our age? I got into this mommyhood thing late in life, in my 40s. My brave (i.e.crazy) husband has already raised four children, and he wants to do it all over again. |

I am in the middle of a stressful, hectic week. But who isn't, I guess? We are suddenly without child care. And we both need to keep our (contractual no benefits) jobs. I'm not sure what we'll do. One day at a time.... While driving to an appointment today I had a little bit of time to (sort of) relax and reflect a little bit. Having children has added a lot of challenges to my life. But what stands out the most in my mind is how many gifts parenthood has given me. This is the short list: A clear mind, a strong heart, empathy, and a very silly sense of fun. While waiting for the finalization of our adoption of Romy I learned patience. While giving birth to Sienna I learned my ability to bear pain. Watching my girls watch me makes me want to be a kinder person. I'm trying. One way or another we'll work out the child care problems. But the stress of this new situation doesn't compare to the pure joy that raising these girls gives me ever day.
