deep breath

breath it all in.. the beauty and the bliss of it all

.and. exhaaaaaaale.That was my deep breath-

rather than monopolize another blogger's coment section.

where I REALLY wanted to say..

Parenting doesn't come with a handbook.. but if someone loves their child- that child is beautiful and yes thriving.. they don't generally need to be told the a.b.c's of parenthood so often.

support.. yes.. oh yes.. and I get it- who am i to decide what *support* looks like.

I guess I just feel support looks like consideration.and i know intention is important and advice- desired or not usually comes from a place of love!!

so much more I could say on this subject.

And maybe i have a bias in there- because not only did I get it.. the unwarranted advice.. but if there HAD been a handbook- i would have torched it like a Preacher's wife would Catcher in the Rye.

I think successful parenting really falls into place when we figure out that our own pace is best.. that the rules are arbitrary and following our heart's goes a long way.

My kids ate solids when they could pick em off the plate and eat them.. they nursed a long time.. they don't go to school.. I dunno.

we make it work.. in a way that keeps us happy

and happy is relative!

I know I haven't been online.

My harddrive crashed.. I am hoping to have it fixed asap.. but until than I am on a loner.. with far less tricks and fancy tools.. but online no less.

I have things i wanna whine about.. so maybe i will set this loner to work.
