I still get the question, "What can I do?" which drives me crazy! :)<br />I write about MOMENTS with the people we love...Hope you'll read!<br /><br />From my post at www.strongmothers.com/archives/332<br /> <br />There is a quote by Eugene Kennedy that reads, “The real test of friendship is: can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?”<br /><br />If I trade out a couple of words it sums up my thoughts nicely. “The real test of parenting is: can you literally do nothing with your kids? Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?” I believe this is where the lasting memories are created.<br /><br />I try to find time EARLY in the morning when everyone's asleep (including the dog)and the only noise is my clicking on the computer keys and the coffeepot making my morning brew! :)Nifhttp://www.strongmothers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584545306338199398.post-41489981995828579922009-10-15T07:35:30.711-07:002009-10-15T07:35:30.711-07:00Oh that is rough.

It's hard when we don't get "me, myself time". I love my kids, I love having them here, but the 24 hour neediness of people not feeling well is killing me.Mom24https://www.blogger.com/profile/00061152728345287775noreply@blogger.com
