I have to tamp down those doom and gloom disaster fantasies, something I wish I was better at.<BR/><BR/>Only one piece of unsolicited advice to me: The money spent on hiring a housekeeper to come and clean our house was the best I ever spent. Having time to love my kid, hubbie, and dog is just worth the money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851695.post-5939955049653623262008-08-28T09:20:00.000-04:002008-08-28T09:20:00.000-04:00Welcome to motherhood!:) If anyone can find the ba...Welcome to motherhood!:) If anyone can find the balance you will, you know how balanced and organized I am, lol. Swore some day I would have the MOST organized home, well, you've been here:) Console myself with the fact there are other things more important, like that smile. Oh, and that feeling of panic, make it your friend, say lotsa prayers, ESPECIALLY with the critters family background and i mean that from BOTH sides of our families:) Love you~NannaNiseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
