This too shall pass. I'm sorry about all the extra stuff you're having to juggle, but I'm sure you'll handle it like a boss.

Your writing is so funny and so honest and cheers me up. My life is weirdly-similar-yet-so-different - I’m a mum to a 2 and a 5 year old (still wondering about a 3rd but I’m 40 now so left it a bit late) a full time A&E Dr in the UK. You sound to squeeze so much out of your life it’s astonishing, and makes me feel better as I’m forever being told by people that ‘I take on too much’ like it’s optional... you only live once and all that, and a ‘big’ job/career and a family (and some time for your own interests too) shouldn’t be too much to aspire to! You make it clear that it isn’t. Keep going... and please keep blogging! Hope the knee is steadily on the mend.

Also ...Anothet Internet weirdo who reads your blog. Also a lawyer like you. I get super resentful about the practice of law taking up tooo much of my time during the Christmas season and the summer. Every damned time.<br />I am older than you with grown kids- what my Mom told me when my kids started getting hormonal and critical is the following:”This too shall pass.” She was right! My oldest (now 31) used to scowl, tell me that I embarrassed her and that she wished I would die in a car crash. I still remember the hysteria around picking out the perfect dress for the 8th grade dance. Now, she is an adult and the best daughter that I could ask for. We traipsed over to Paris for my 60th and her 30th (her idea) using our combined stash of frequent flyer miles and points-had a blast. It does get better-and talking about it helps-you’ll soon realize that you are not alone.

I don't know if I would have been functional enough to get to R Taco at the end of that, let alone hold it together professionally. Amazingwhat we can do when we have no choice.<br /><br />And that last picture--what a good heart he has underneath all of that tweenage angst business. My heart breaks for both of you. Ugh, these complicated little creatures!<br /><br />And the nanny search thing. How hard! It's like losing a family member!

I love your honesty about parenting a tween. I’m not there yet but I read something the other day about how the hardest part of being a parent is acting like an adult, and I already know how hard it is for me a temper my emotional reactions to my kids’ emotions (And they are 3 and 5). We also have some in-law drama and are planning a trip to Disney, so I’m reading with much interest and just wanted to say hi like a big ok internet weirdo.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946311309467296976noreply@blogger.com
