Wow, did I get distracted!

I can't believe how long its been since I last posted on this blog. Crazy how fast time goes by. So much has changed, but so much has stayed the same. The kids turned 5 this summer and started kindergarten a few weeks ago. They amaze me everyday. They also try my patience everyday. I'm not quite the mother I thought I would be because I've realized that there is no ideal way to do this. I do a lot of things I never thought I would (let the kids eat hotdogs) and do other things I never knew I was capable of. But mostly I just try to do the best I can everyday. Some days I get it right, and other days I have to just laugh and let it all go. After all, will it really kill them if I let them have ice cream for dinner tonight?
