raise my kids well

Things progress. Every day, I have the chance to see what beautiful, confident, and caring children I have. Sometimes they’re small vandals, but they are everything I could hope for, and I couldn’t be happier with my children!

I am a goal oriented girl. I assess, analyze, then calculate odds on various desired outcomes. I pick a direction, then work as hard as I can to see it happen, and see my goal met. I do this with everything, even my kids. So far, so good.
One needs to develop empathy, another the will to follow through. So we work on this. My kids are young, so we’ll see how it goes. I’m not expecting perfection, nowhere near, but if I can raise them with the tools to be successful and a minimum of emotional damage, I will have done a great thing. For now, Lord help us. We need it.

... like I’m doing a decent job lately!

Both kids are in sports right now, and I can see that it has a great effect on their well-being. Both are so much happier when they’re active. Also, their dad isn’t around, and they both have male coaches who somewhat fill that void.

When their seasons are over, I think I’ll hand write thank you cards to their coaches. :)

I want my son to put God first, do be fearless and to know how much he is loved

I’m very proud of my two sons.

My kids are turning out great, but now that they are entering school the real challenges begin.
