I grew up in a happy home. I didn't no my family was poor, that my mom had struggles and my dad had issues. I thought everyone's dad drank as much as mine. I always thought it was normal to have a hard working mom who happened to be over protective. I grew up in silver spring, MD (very close to Washington DC, in fact we were so close we went to church every Sunday. A 25 minute drive there and a 25 minute drive back) the house I grew up in had 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, 8 kids, and 6 adults. Let me explain who is who. Upstairs we have my aunt Nelis, uncle David and there 5 kids, 3 boys David, Dennis, and Hector, with 2 daughters Delmy and Laura. Downstairs there was my two uncle Edgar and Uncle Mauricio in one bedroom and my parents and my 2 younger sisters, Alba and Alejandra. Anyways my point being my life was great growing up. I didn't get presents from Santa or an Easter basket from the Easter bunny but I did have 2 parents that tired hard enough. Now I am grown up with my husband and in our apartment in happy land (my city will not be disclosed for all purposes.) I am still in school and during the day I watch my little angel and study while my husband works. Many may think it is easy being a house wife but truth is, it's hard. You have a child that needs your full undivided attention, the kit hen is crying for some cleaning, the bathroom needs to look clean, the bedroom has clothes on the floor, the bed must be made, don't forget to disinfectant all surfaces because children touch everything. That's is not even close as to what it is really like.
Well my point with it, is that being a stay at home mom and student at night is a challenge. I am here not to give help because I'm learning, but as I'm learning maybe I can help. Huge contradiction!
Be peaceful. Happy. Love life and your children. Don't forget your spouse!
