FAMILIES . . .
Not really as the title may suggest, I wonder, why we choose to have many children to raise. Is one not enough? Why have any children at all? I say this as I attempt to sort out why I have three children when once upon a memory I couldn’t even imagine having one child never mind being married. (and that is a whole other set of wonderings!)
What type of divine humour does God have, or is it just me?
Must go sort out the girls for the day, and pick up the nappies Gabrielle has just strewn all over the livingroom floor . . . . again I ask why?

Hats off to you folks who have children! I don’t know how you do it! What a hard, all-consuming job you have. Sometimes I look upon you with envy… other times I cherish my being able to sleep in on weekends (if I want to), choosing when / where / what time I will eat, being able to leave at a drop of a hat and meet up with a friend… and so forth (jealous yet???). And yet, there is something so beautiful about families and thinking about someone outside of yourself. Perhaps having those additional responsibilities would force me to get some balance in my life
Your children are beautiful, Rhea, and I know you are a great mother. Miss you muchly!
Nov. 29, 2005 Hi Stinky Rhea! I love that you’re a faithful commenter on my blog. This is the most we’ve kept in contact
Hope all is well with you and your little ones!
Yes I think this is the most we have stayed in contact, but this is the easier way at times!! I have tried chatting with friends on line and while this can be great, I often feel guilty coz I feel like I am neglecting something/one while I do so. At least when I read your blog (& try to make a funny comment which didn’t go over well with Rob!!) I feel like I am still in contact with life as I once knew it! Paul doesn’t get our sence of humour (read him the gelato entry, which I found abolutely hilarious & he was confused why I found it so), he’ll have to cope if we ever get to move back to Canada.
