Things are going relatively well around here. I had another birthday, I'm another year older. As my husband commented, "You've had a rough year!" And I had to agree. But now I feel like I'm on steadier ground, surrounded by a better support system, and I learned a lot about myself- namely that I'm not expendable. My family really does need ME, not just anyone, to be the wife and the mom here. And as good as that feels, it's also scary at the same time. I'm reminded of what a huge responsibility this is, to be a wife and a mom.
But when I look at their faces, I know everything has been worth it. I might not have made the best choices along the way, but hopefully I can make up for that somehow, and it won't affect them in the long run. Every parent must make some mistakes, right? Some just bigger than others. All I can do now is try to make better choices now and be the best wife and mom I can be, and give myself a break.
Sounds like a good resolution for 2012.
