I like what you said about not looking at are kids as a job. Sometimes it feels like it's that but when we think that way it's not special anymore, it's a chore. Luckily we have each other to get us through the hard days!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863880411729403026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054190328087033172.post-56094601087527122442012-05-30T09:42:44.623-07:002012-05-30T09:42:44.623-07:00I know I don't have experience like your situa...I know I don't have experience like your situation with Olivia, but most days I get down on myself for not being "mom enough" in some way, and the blog post I'm linking below made me feel better.

It's allowing someone to see inside of you and allowing them to love you! It's so hard sometimes. SO. HARD. I also loved how you described her as intense. I'll have to remember that when describing one or two of my own!Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759977707394089882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054190328087033172.post-67214509412490763922012-05-30T08:06:57.885-07:002012-05-30T08:06:57.885-07:00Seriously gave me chills.

I'm here for you if you need me.
