There are days when I feel like I am drowning (5 kids 9,8,6,4,1), I keep telling myself that my frustrations will eventually fade and I will have the best memories of life with littles. I yearn for the teen years - people think I am crazy :) but in reality it all goes by so fast, doesn't it! #itsokJacquihttps://www.onemessymama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900246097326241068.post-32122867892346109742019-03-28T15:48:06.083+04:002019-03-28T15:48:06.083+04:00Parenting is a tough job, I'd say THE toughest...Parenting is a tough job, I'd say THE toughest job, because there is no one correct way of doing it.

I must say that all these details do get forgotten and mixed up over the years. A lot of the memories I have, I now question which child it actually was.<br />Onto the next stage for you, whatever that may be!SarahMummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04103870858666628645noreply@blogger.com
