I cried multiple times. And I don't usually cry when I read.<br /><br />My sister has asked me why. I didn't have an answer, because, like you, I really don't have a lot in common with her. Except for the wishing the kids would grow up faster, then realizing I wanted a do-over. But the biggest thing I have in common with her, and you put it into words so well is "the biggest question of all—can I be better than I’ve been?"<br /><br />I'm still adjusting to the empty nest situation and missing my children, learning to be a grandmother, and trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up. I don't have a lot of regrets because life is what it is, but I do want to be better.<br /><br />Thanks for the post, and the book. :)<br /><br /> Karlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155275085994747732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273884579990188613.post-25785674617741319872012-10-15T12:26:46.805-07:002012-10-15T12:26:46.805-07:00I thought motherhood was hard when I was running o...I thought motherhood was hard when I was running on little sleep and had to deal with crying, diapers, and endless days of feeling like everything was a vicious circle. But motherhood is much different with teens, and much harder in pretty much every way. And I agree, that there are some things I want to "do-over" but then I realize I'm still ME and I'd probably do it the same for the most part even if I had a crystal ball. My personality is what it is, and even as I grow and improve, I still have strong convictions about certain things as far as the balance between raising kids and being an individual woman away from the mom stuff.Heather Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11634399663804195312noreply@blogger.com
