And plus they’re kids and thankfully they recover and forgive easily. We all know you’re a great mom and can handle it all very well!

Good news that your homestudy is almost finished. You’re making progress!

Thank you Stephanie for your honesty. Whether it is one or four children, bio or adopted we all have our not so great mom days. Mike also works late, and boy sometimes when I am done with the kids for the day, I am done, and it is hard to keep going in the evening alone, and in a calm manner. But you know there are always ups and downs, and those good times sure outshine the bad.
I do have to say, my sweet little boys sure helped me get through the teenage girl hormones 🙂 I just took my daughter to college yesterday…talk about bittersweet, It seems like I just dropped her off at preschool. Time goes way to fast, and they grow up to quickly. Thats great news about your I-600. lets chat soon.

I wrote almost the exact same thing this week! I’m smiling because truly it was so simliar. And I too had thoughts of, “If I can’t even do this with one, how am I going to do it with 3 or 4 (adopting a sibling group)? Am I really supposed to be doing this?!”

Then of course, like you, I asked for and recieved sage advice, and the world is mostly right now.

Like you said, it’s the ups and downs. The ups are so good, and the downs- well they can be trying at best.

And no, absolutely you didn’t share too much! I appreciate it so much when people post the honest truth out there and paint the real picture of parenting.

At the end of the day/week, it all works because we make it work despite the bumps. After all, can we possibly even begin to imagine a world (or our lives) without our children? Oh my gosh no!
