I sometimes joke that my girls will be able to bond with each other when they are older by talking about me. Good or bad, they will have me in common so that will bind them. They can talk about the way I nagged them to clean their room, do their homework, share, be nice to each other or they can talk about the way I would write them notes in their lunch boxes, or take pictures of them sleeping at night because I think it will crack them up in the morning, or the way we would all sit and read books together. Anyway, I just read a book called The Good Sister by Drusilla Campbell (I will put it in my book log) and I really liked it. It had a sentence in it that made me think of me saying this to people…Having a sister makes having a mother bearable. I suppose that quote is only meant for the bad moments, but hopefully they will remember the good moments too.
I sure hope they all remember the good things! I think traditions are great – the little ones and the big ones. We didn’t have many when I was growing up so i’m trying to incorporate some into our lives now.
I’m not sure how to take this?
Love, Mom
