I wanted to start this blog to write about the issues I and my family face all the time. I know we are not the only ones. I also am using as a place to vent and work through some of the major issues in my life.
I am a mother to a wonderful and amazing set of 5 year old twin girls. I will be married for 10 years in November. My husband is wonderful and amazing. He treats me like a princess and is a huge supporter of me and our family.
I am also a teacher. I have taught for over 5 years now in a variety of settings, thanks to the Michigan economy. I am really hoping to stay put for a while. I hate moving around. I am certified to teach grades 6-12 Social studies and English. I also teach at our Temple's religious school on Sunday mornings. I find it enjoyable and helps keep my spark for teaching.
In what little spare time I have I love to knit, sew, read, watch t.v. and spend time with my family and friends. I have been wonderfully supported by my family and friends and I am extremely grateful for their support, love and understanding.
I would love to have more children but I am at the point in my life where I am not sure that will happen. We have had numerous failed IUI's and IVF's. The last one ended in an etopic pregnancy and my having to have laposcopic surgery to remove my tube and the fetus. This just happened and I am still dealing with and processing this event. My girls are five and I never wanted the age gap between my kids to be this big. I desperately would love to have another child but I am just not sure that will be possible.
I am in a spot in my life where I am wondering where we are going. I am a mother who has always wanted children. I wanted four kids for a very long time. Now I would just like one more healthy child to add to our family. I don't understand sometimes how good people who would be wonderful and caring parents go without being able to conceive and someone who doesn't really want the kid or can't take care of it gets one. I know they help. I have known many single parents who are wonderful and their child helped them become better people. What about those poor abused kids. My heart breaks for them. I wish I could convince my husband to adopt just one child who can not be taken care of by their parent and prevent them from having an unhappy childhood.
I guess I have wondered on for too long. I am hoping to use this blog to post about my life and hopefully inspire other women who deal with some of the same issues I do.
