Once upon a time I thought I would get married, have children, live in
the country, and have a garden. I would take in lots of foster children
and adopt. I would stroll leisurely around the garden with a baby in a
sling and live a serene life loving kids (babies-teens) and helping them
to heal. Ha!
So....real life....not married, a house in a
neighborhood where I can barely keep up with the mowing, a garden that
only got half planted and still needs to be thinned (at least the
flowers are doing well though!), a six year old that has to be prodded
to stay on task and do his chores, a baby who is just beginning to
tolerate a sling without screaming and otherwise wants to be held
constantly.... I'm not exactly serene most of the time, but at least I'm
smiling...usually!
Maybe the house in the country, a flourishing
garden, a guy that shares my passion in life, and more children will
come someday, but in the mean time I'm enjoying today. Reality looks a
lot more chaotic than my daydreams but it's all good.
