I have decided to lay off of the reading for awhile. Not that I feel I know all there is to know, but just to give my head a break. There is alot of information out there and at times can be overwhelming. I am currently reading an auto-biography by Jennifer Graf Groneberg called Road Map to Holland. Following the birth of her twins, she learns that one of her sons has Down syndrome. This book is a truthful notation of how she found her way through his first two years of life. I am enjoying it so far, and find it a refreshing break from the facts and figures of all my other reads.
Who knows, maybe one day I will write a book of my own. My life is definatley full of enough stories to compose a novel; from starting a family at a young age, to raising 3 small children under the age of 5, to 3 teenagers now over the age of 13. And amongst the "madness" of friends and Facebook, driving and dating, homework and hashtags is a vibrant, energetic 5 year old who is the centre of our family's universe. To think in a few short months, we will be adding a baby to our mix! I have all ages covered just to keep a healthy balance of chaos. It definitely keeps us young at heart and life interesting. I am loving every minute of motherhood. The good times and the not-so-good moments. And even though this little man was an unexpected gift, he will be just that. Another precious gift to our growing family. And I look forward to being a mommy once again. For the fifth and final time :)
