I will be forever grateful for that. You are doing an amazing job and your children will thank you one day. Mind you, I also feel left out of conversations sometimes... I live in my own little world :) NickiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7394856819842931296.post-59731904160744490472011-07-22T09:42:31.584-05:002011-07-22T09:42:31.584-05:00It may not help much but I have to tell you I KNOW...It may not help much but I have to tell you I KNOW exactly how you feel. The only difference is that we had four instead of three and I got zero help from anyone. I always felt like such a bump on the log anywhere we went. In fact, some of that still is there. I just end up sitting back watching. But in 20 years as you see your kids all good productive people with wonderful families, you will know that YES it was worth it all!!!! You are doing a FANTASTIC JOB at home with three of the sweetest kids I know!Helen Stevensonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7394856819842931296.post-47572032282125590452011-07-21T22:29:11.493-05:002011-07-21T22:29:11.493-05:00Jeni, you are such an inspirational woman!

I can however tell you that your words are inspiring, and I know for a fact that your children adore you. It's evident just in the way they look at you. You are a terrific mother and your children are so incredibly lucky to have you in their lives and I promise, one day they will appreciate you!Kirsten Neffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738406442095992573noreply@blogger.com
