Lately I have had a constant internal struggle going on with the type of mom that I’ve become. I’ve said it numerous times before that you shouldn’t hold out any expectations to how you’ll parent, or what kinds of kids you’ll have because no matter what, those expectations will be shattered because you’re dealing with human beings that think and feel completely separately than you and have their own personalities as well.

My my my. It’s been a long time since I’ve written here and I fear that I don’t remember how to coherently express how I’m feeling today, but because it’s been so long, I will still try.

Having a difficult child…is well, difficult. Every night John and I are just exhausted from our day. Our baby is our easiest child with Wyatt being so unmanageable at times and Ava becoming more (I hate to say it) hormonal. Some days we worry that we’ve done something wrong with Wyatt, some days we chalk it up to him being 2 and count down the days till his third birthday. Our lives aren’t perfect, we aren’t perfect, and our kids are surely not perfect. Some days our favorite part of the day is when we are sleeping.
