Process

Have you ever noticed that life is all one great big process. From birth, to marriage to having your own kids to them growing up nothing is ever complete there is always something. The process of life can at times be overwhelming but then there is that breakthrough moment when everything you have worked so hard for is shown. This goes for marriage, kids, remodeling really everything. I have always tried to be a good mom and make sure my kids get the attention they need. Dawson is finally starting to realize that it is okay to do things and he doesn't need to be embarrassed about them. Like talking in front of the class, or programs at school or substitutes (This has been a hard one this year). It is just nice to see forward progression. :) Then there is Braedon who is almost........gulp.......12!!! This sounds so cliche but "I remember the day he was born and it seems like yesterday." It is hard to imagine that I am OLD enough to have a 12 year old. Where did the time go? He is finally starting to become a little man with certain things he will do or say, it makes me think well maybe you will turn out just fine. I always thought that it was hard being up with sick kids but I think it is harder trying to teach your kids life lessons and make sure they grow up to be good human beings. So I guess life is just one big process. Just when you have accomplished something, something else will takes its place. If it was all the same all the time life would be pretty boring. Just wish that sometimes you could push fast forward through tough situations or pause for those moments you want to savor and rewind for those you speed by and didn't take the time to really appreciate.
