Since when have you been on this journey known as Motherhood?

I think my whole life! I was born old! Really, twenty one years.
-
How many people depend on you?
-
Three but it feels like everyone in the whole world.
-
What do you know now that you didn't know before you were a mom?
-
I know what it feels like to love others more than yourself. I know what it feels like to be truly loved. I know what it feels like to be overwhelmingly happy, overwhelmingly sad. I know what total exhaustion feels like. I know that little things don't really matter and sometimes little things matter the most! I know that I wish I had been kinder to myself when I was younger. I know that I wish I had of appreciated myself more when I was younger. I know that sometimes the best laid plans don't turn out how we wished, sometimes they are better! The most important thing I have learned is to listen more and understand that I still have a lot to learn! I know that there is always time to have fun (a lesson from my kids!) I know if given the opportunity I would do it all over again!
-
What is your idea of perfect happiness or your happy place?
-
My idea of perfect happiness is sitting in the garden either in Vancouver or Sayulita in my pajamas watching the sun come up! My family would all be asleep safetly in their beds! I would like to be surrounded by my dogs, have a nice hot cup of coffee and a really good sound track playing in the background! If this fantasy is unavailable I would just like to share a really good bottle(s) of wine with all my buddy's and laugh the whole night away! I could then move on to my first fantasy!!!
-
What is your biggest frustration or struggle?
-
NOT ENOUGH TIME!!!!!!!!!! there are alot of things I would really like to accomplish I just don't know if there is enough time! Oh and secondly my diminishing vision!!!! I hate having to wear glasses and everytime I put them down I loose them!!!! and NO I do not want a glasses chain. Let's not forget about gravity!!!! My body is not a very big fan of gravity!!! I also really hate having to color my hair! I spend the first week after a dye job trying to get the brown stains off my head and the next two weeks growing white roots and the next couple of weeks trying to get a hair appointment so I can start all over again!!!!!
-
