Musings on motherhood

[angela_o]

Life with kids is never boring, but the types of demands on your time definitely alter over the years. When they're little the needs are immediate and all-consuming. As they get older, they still need you for emotional support, but they *really* need you for the driving. lol Today E and J had to be at church by 7am to help out with a yard sale. Thankfully G took them on his way to work. I had to have M to his Cub Scout leader's house by 10:30 for a field trip, then drove with N in the car to pick up E and J. M then had to be picked up at noon. E has to be dropped off at the movies for a friend's birthday at 3:15 and J has to be dropped off at a friend's house for an birthday overnight at 5:00. E will have to be picked up at 6:30. That's just today. Fortunately, this is the first weekend in the last 4 that N doesn't have a birthday party to attend. It's a good thing that I love my iPod adaptor in my car. :)

Funny how I never pictured swapping hours holding and rocking for hours of driving hither and yon.
