I Am Here

I have mixed feelings about this blog, its purpose, intended audience, and quite frankly its validity. What is wrong with me? There are millions of women around the world that take on much more than I do with fewer resources, less help, and more children. I guess I am starting this puppy up because in NYC, where I live, I do not personally know anyone in this situation. There are surely some very wealthy and many very impoverished families with four kids in this town, but do they have two workaholic parents, two bedrooms and two young kids with two (twins!) on the way? Maybe. It is entirely possible that I am not special, not interesting, and not blog worthy. But I am going to give it a shot and if anything I say sounds remotely amusing, painful, familiar or moronic, please chime in. For now, I am going to go to bed to get ready for my first day back at work (school), my first day in (too) many away from my 3 and 5 year olds, and my first night with two twins in utero and two blogs under my belt. Two seems to be a theme here. Hmmm.

  1. I don't know if there are many other women in your situation in NYC. I would not bet on it. However, I know there are not many women as strong as you are. Try to find me women who have had 2 spinal surgeries, no nannies, no epidural deliveries, etc... Ok, your favorite superhero is Wonder Woman but at this point we might need to get some help...and it is okay!
    If this blog is meant to be a catalyzer of strength by all means please keep on writing as we will need it, I need it, the kids need it...but mostly YOU will need it as demonstrated by the fact that i am writing this comment from Berlin while you 'hold the fort' with all the soldiers in it. Please never forget how much I love you or appreciate what you do/are everyday. Write on Crazymama...write on...
    Yours,

    your love for each other will be the best tool to fight anything that now looks as a pretty difficult enterprise.
