I so rarely ever get a break from my children, but this is my choice. I really enjoy being around my kiddos and long ago decided that I didn't want to have babysitters for my children {I can count on my hands how many times my kids have been without my husband and myself}. My husband is quite busy with his job and is not around a lot of the times and when he is here, he is not really here. However, he is actually around more now than he ever was when the kiddos were much younger.

I have to admit that I happen to think when my children were younger, it was easier, they were easier. Now my kiddos have their own little opinions that they are happy to voice to me. I can't tell you how many times a day I here "M-O-M"{insert shouting little voices all at the same time saying the exact same thing over and over again until I answer that specific call}.
