Just keep in mind that things will not always be this way. I remember when my kids were infants and toddlers that I was reminded that the stages would go quickly and not to get sucked into thinking that they are static.
Hence, activity will pick up in time and freedom will come one year at a time - in fact, right now I wish I had those years back - I may not have liked being tied down so much but it grounded me then. Now I am all grown up and haven't a clue.
Cheer up lady! The fact that life changes all the time never fails. Right now I wish technology would slow down so I could catch up. I can't figure out what to do about watching tv with digital tv, cable, satelite, DVR's , netflix, DVD's and tv on line... haven't a clue what to do and what makes sense for me. I am limited with income so it limits my choices. I though in my older years I could just sit in front of my tv but now I don't know how it works and it seems to cost so much. BLah, blah, blah sorry... I rambled.
