For any of you who may have three kids, I am sure you can relate to what I have learned in the last few months. You see, when it was just two kids, I always felt like I could keep them both balanced. I have two hands and I could easily toss them back and forth between them and keep everyone pretty centered. Once you add number three you really have to get talented. I have taken a crash course in juggling. You can no longer hold each one in your hand and you constantly have one that is up in the air. There is a lot of time spent hoping that whoever happens to be up in the air at that moment, feels treasured, and well that they will stay happy for one more minute until you can toss another up in the air. Of course, all of this is just figurative, I could not possibly toss my 17 year old up into the air! But for many weeks I just couldn’t place why I felt so frazzled as a mother. Once it hit me that I was just juggling, and that everyone could have a little piece of me, I felt our family start to really come together. Now a few weeks later, and we are getting to be quite harmonious. I could have my own act in the circus!
Speaking of three… here is my little man at exactly three months old.
How time flies when you are juggling!
Until Soon,
