You KNOW it is the most important job you could have and generally, it is very rewarding. But you lose that affirmation from others that an outside job gives you. You make it up in smiles and cuddles, but it is hard to hang a cuddle on the wall for all to see..."See what I did today? I had three cuddles, two tickles and eight smiles. See the plaque, right there?"<BR/><BR/>Yes, gone are the days of picking up take out, coming home and just vegging. I remind myself that someday, the children will be gone and Brendan and I can once again get take out...or go to Denny's at 4 pm...which ever seems like the better idea!<BR/><BR/>But, you just can't beat those hugs!<BR/><BR/>I think of you guys often and I sure with Andy was here at Memorial Hermann Houston!Juliewww.lyonsfamily.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782119194018581777.post-37187030589479474952007-07-21T13:11:00.000-05:002007-07-21T13:11:00.000-05:00Yes, I agree. This is what life is all about now. Annabelle! It's a difficult change in lifestyle, but I would not change it for the world!Andrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00511149073273723154noreply@blogger.com
