outside

i am currently siting on my back porch under the ceiling fans enjoying some well earned peace and quiet. Bear had surgery earlier this week so we have been homebound BUT thanks to an amazing friend, he is happy watching TV with a friend and the rest of my children are playing with friends. It is times like these that I am able to really recognize how important friends and a good support network are in today's world. The saying is it takes a village to raise a child, well it certainly takes a village to raise 4 children, even as a stay at Home mom. Sometimes I think it takes more help when you are a stay at home mom. I have the most wonderful, caring, kind hearted, and amazing friends. I am so blessed. How do people raise children in this world without friends? I know I would not be able to. So thank you are my wonderful friends out there, you know who you are and know I would be lost without you.
