What is the right way to start one of these out?? It is kind of like a Sarah Jessica Parker moment. Hearing yourself vocalize what you are typing on the screen. I am not sure how this whole blog thing will work out but it is intriguing. I am the mother of two beautiful children and a wonderful step-daughter. I have an amazing husband who our life would not work without. We are learning Christians and members of the First Baptist church in our small town. I am a stay-at-home mom and also a DVT survivor. This month it will be one year since my last clot that was my worst and I am still recouperating from. It was definatley a life changing experience. We found out recentley that my blood condition is hereditary and that has put a lot on my mind. Unfortunatley there are not a lot of groups for me to lean on and my drs are showing no interest in my condition so we feel very alone. This year I want to find somewhere I can go to help find an answer and hopefully a cure so my children never have to suffer the way I did.
In a more light hearted direction, because of my condition I have learned to say no more to others and say yes more to my children. We have spent more time at home together and don't take forgranted that tomorrow may not come. Our children have grown up so quickly and we learn more from them than school ever did. They have taught us what is really important...Family. I am hoping this blog will help me work through my days of being a mom and being a wife. Some days I like to just get lost in thought. Tomorrow is our last day of Christmas break which is very sad for me. I have spent the last week really working on focusing of my kids and not the messes or the laundry. When they asked me to put together a new toy I made sure to say yes and help them learn how to use it. I overheard my daughter telling someone when they asked her how their break was going that they were having a wonderful time with mommy. It felt so good. Here is to a year full of those responses. Good night.
So excited to learn more about your family and keep up with you!
