Thanks Roz! You're very sweet! I hope one day we can meet, I promise I won't reject the treat.

We're having tacos today (my favorite!) for dinner and Chinese food for lunch so no cooking for me today!

I read it was your birthday? I hope you have had many presents!
So your ancestors comes from Milan? I have many family members living still there.
Instead I live in the south, in front of the Greece to be correct.

Introduction Pandora

Thanks for the good wishes. I had a fantastic birthday! Yes, my ancestors come from Milan (so my relatives say). I heard the South of Italy has the most friendly people in the whole country. I don't know how old are you but are you a fan of football? I am and let me tell you that Italy 90' world cup was the best world cup ever (except that Argentina did not win).

What do you do for a living?

Pandora Introduction

It ends as suddenly as it begins...After 5 children (which seemed the work would never end) it goes away quietly as the last one grows up and jumps into the world.

Be patient, and love them all you can. Time flies on wings of lightning, it doesn't come back (unless one moves back in with children...oh boy)!

Hi. Not sure what you mean? Is it related to my blog? If it is, thanks. In our case however, we don't know if any of our kids would grow and "jump" into the world like most folks since as you saw on my blog we have THREE kids with special needs (from autism, ADHD, speech delay, anxiety and OCD) which makes the whole scenario very, very different and the level of daily stress into a completely different dimension.

I did read your blog and immediately felt sad, but at the same time hopeful. Sad because of the amount of strain but hopeful because I can see you and JB coming threw on this stronger than before.

I can't really imagine having to deal with such things. However I feel somehow you will prevail. One thing I would like to say is as they get older I think the strain will decline most likely. It is very hard to take care of a child of younger age because in general they just don't get it. Often they try and test you to see how much they can get away with. After time children grow out of this and tend to be more self sufficient. That said I realize you are in a different situation and they never truly grow out of it so to speak, in that sense.

The part that really hit me is that you feel like your not a happy person anymore. This may be a bit off of what you actually said but that is kind of what I got from what your post was. Maybe more that you feel your not allowed to be a happy person because of all the factors that continue to assault you daily.

I can relate to that and deal with that struggle daily as well. I don't know if it will help but for myself I try and find a center within me. I focus on my inner being that is positive and take a deep breathe. Letting it take over and allowing that inner force to guide my mood and actions.
