You only feel that way because "your" way is different from "society's" way. What is right for you doesn't have to make sense to everyone else. Go your own way, babe.

I am an aunt which is great and I am a mother to a furry one, but I just don't know past that. I do like my lifestyle, though wish I was a bit more affluent. Thems the breaks. I like making things and like a bit of freedom. It's a big decision!<br />By the way, do you really paint in heels?

You are such a natural mother, it makes me feel better to know that even you have guilt sometimes too. I do look like my mom don't I!

I remember when I first started taking the pill (to help with my cycle) and I hid a little cryptic note on our dormroom mirror that said "pill" to help me remember to take it! The pill sucks. And here's the thing about guilt. Everyone has their own version. I'd love more time to do my own thing, and I feel guilty for wanting that over my kids sometimes. And...you look like your beautiful mama. Been wanting to say that for a while!

You will make a great mom! How fun it will be for your child to paint with you as they grow up. Keep on doing what seems like the next right decision and wait each day for the surprises God has for you. There is never a right time to start a family- stuff is always in the way. (If I might add one tiny suggestion, as I read the blog I sometimes get startled and cringe with your language, it seems to darken what is otherwise pure beauty and honesty. maybe you could type " **** " instead of those words?).

You sound practically bubbly. It seemss like congratulations are in order with all of the important decisions you and your husband have made recently.

As one of your faithful readers, it will be such a pleasure watching you evolve here so feel free to follow your own new direction.

Our adoption process was supposed to take ten months, and it has taken 2 1/2 years (with no actual end in sight yet). While it has been difficult and frustrating and sad, I've been able to use the time to pour myself into my business, which I love, and have been really, really grateful for. Thank you for being so open and honest about all of it...that's something I haven't found the courage to do on my blog!Rebekka Sealehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136635569938104106noreply@blogger.com
