So many things going around in my head. With older children and then raising a grandchild I am torn between mothering in two entirely different parts of my life. The older ones have such different needs than the one we have at home. Sometimes I can only concentrate on just one and the other just has to slide. That is why I am in awe of young mothers I know with 3+ children and I know several. I do have the advantage of knowing what is out there concerning kids and what they will encounter. Stay on your knees. Prayer is the only thing, my faith, friends and family are what keep me sane. Never, never, never give up on your kids......no matter what!
