my own reality (and blessing)

Since becoming a mum of twins (almost three years ago, now) I have become even more obsessed with watching reality shows about families, people with lives similar to mine- that kind of thing.  And since I've rediscovered the world of blogging, I've realized that I can indulge my obsession even more.  One of my favourite blogs to read is 'Life Set to Words' by Maegan Beishline and this post, today in particular, touched a raw nerve.  I have these feelings a lot!  Except, I almost resent my husband for being the one to go to work and leave the house instead of feeling grateful and content that I am the one who gets to spend the days at home with the little ones!

As a follower of Maegan's blog, I enjoy reading her 'Realities and Blessings' posts whereby she turns the realities of her day to day life into positive feelings.  I think this should be my attempt at turning the negative feelings I have into something more positive.  It is not easy being a mum of multiples and certain things challenge me and stress me out in ways I never could have imagined when I thought I would have children.  However, I should think myself incredibly fortunate and privileged to be in the position where I can spend the time with them and watch them grow up into very determined, young boys.  My husband misses out on a lot of things when he is at work and I know he longs for time spent at home with the children.  I shouldn't ever forget that!
