Life, family and children seem to be more challenging than delightful at times. I've cried with despair at some of the decisions I've had to make, especially regarding my DD16, over this past year. And then I've sobbed huge sobs of relieve when some of my decision bore 'good fruit'. I still cry about it today. Maybe one day I'll able to journal how I felt. I'd love to do that.

So often in the papercrafting world of blogland, I hear how wonderful everything is, and how perfect everyone's families are, and, you know, my life isn't perfect. I'm struggling right now with my 18 year old son. I start to wonder sometimes why everyone else has these perfect families/lives, and I don't. Its so refreshing just to hear someone be honest and open for a change and share what they are really feeling.
