Grandma is here!

This week has been fun having Grandma Anderson here.  She has come to watch Waylon until the opening at daycare is available.  Yeah, daycare.  It frightens the crap out of us, but we have to go with the best we can do.  We are sure it will be for the best, but you can't help the feelings of the "parenthood protection policy".  

Friday, Grandma, mom & Waylon went to breakfast at the Bear Paw.  It was really good and all went well.  Sunday church was tipsy turvy.  There were some things said in class about stay-at-home moms and the responsibility of mothers according to doctrine.  Sakes, it's hard to sit in a room full of stay-at-home mothers.  I don't know, but taking care of kids at home is really hard. I've always thought that's a noble job.  Unfortunately I don't have that option and I carry regrets of how I could have formed my life differently as does Kirk.  I was reassured from Kirk that we are doing the best we can and that's all Christ expects we can do.  So that made me feel better, but still....being a mom who works and crams in the precious 2-3 hours I get with my son every night, I don't think if you've always been a stay-at-home mom, you could judge the emotional roller coaster and "should'ves" and shouldn't haves that us working mothers go through.  I do know all mothers will do anything for their children.  We just do the best we can.  

I have had funky dreams about my high-school friends for the past few days.  Also even some other past boyfriends.  It's pretty funny, these dreams, but also these dreams always have the most true emotions involved.

Vanes, you can't beat yourself up for doing the best you can. Try sitting in church every Sunday when they talk about the importance of marriage and family. At least you have that, the rest will come. No worries.
And by the way, I love your blog. I didn't know you had one. I will add you to my blog list. I love the denim design. I'm surprised that you don't have any Don Williams on your play list.
Love ya tons!!
