Balancing Life

So I have taken another break from blogging...I know lots of you were upset that I took a break. I have no good reason why...life just gets busy. I have been making an effort to not be on the computer so much. But I know that I have missed journalling our crazy life. So, I am going to try to get back into it. I know that in 10 years I will be thankful that i kept track of what was going on in our day to day. I probably will laugh and say "wow, it was so easy back then!" Which brings me to that age old question about how every mom of teenagers says how it was so much easier when they were small. WTH? Really? I beg to differ. Perhaps the stress is more - like when they are coming home or where they are, but do you remember the insanity known as potty training? Do you remember going through 4 pairs of underwear before 10:30am? I am not minimizing the stress of parenting a teen, but I know I have completely blocked out the 6 mos it took to potty train Julia, so it IS possible that they have blocked out all the bad that goes with little kids. Don't get me started on the constant state of chaos that is on every floor of my home. Someday...when the kiddos are gone at school, I will have a clean house the way I like it to be. I will be caught up on my scrapbooks, I will finally take some time to make curtains for my kitchen, dining room and bathroom. But until then, I will just try to make the best of trying to balance my life with these 2 precious babies God has given to me.
