I Love My Kids...

Like them?? Not always, not remotely. Lorelei is in her twos and it's just going to get worse as she turns three. Micci keeps telling me he wants a NEW baby sister--as in replace the one I got now I hate her. The amount of times the kids have gotten into things and made a mess just thinking about it makes me want to curl up into a fetal ball. I want to trade in the kids for a hamster.

Everyone says it's okay not to like their kids. As the saying goes, I love my kids--I just don't like them. Well...I am coming to the realisation that is NOT healthy. Loving them isn't enough--I NEED to like them too.

Stop bring the banshee and the mean mommy--and try to remember what it is like to LIKE my kids, to enjoy them, and stop offering my children to friends for the low cost of free.

So I am going to stop complaining about them--esp. on this blog--and dedicate time (maybe once a month or perhaps once a week) to sing their virtues.

Give me time though--I need to think long and hard abut this...
