Today is my last day to be 40yo.
In 2.5 hours, I will be 41yo. LOL! Big Jump! I love getting older. People are always astonished at my age. Thanks to my parents for good genes. I would like the skinny genes next time!
My life is not what I expected it to be. I wanted to have my kids when I was in my late 20s and be retired by 40yo. That sure didn't happen. I had my kids in my late 30s and I don't work outside of the home, so retirement is not coming.
I can tell you that I wouldn't give up my life that I have now for anything. I have a great husband, who listens 80% of the time to me, and 2 great sons.
I get some questions asked to me all the time, so I thought I would answer them all in one place.
Do I ever wish I had a daughter? Sure do, but girls are expensive.
Would I cure Ryan of Autism if given the chance? I would miss the pure moments, but I would love to take away any strife or pain from him. Ryan knows no different, but I do. I have been bullied and no kid should have to go through that.
Why don't you work? I Stay At Home because it saves my family money. If I worked, my check would be eaten up with daycare costs and what job would let me off when Ryan or Liam are sick. Ryan was sick for the whole month of March. We only have one car and I don't drive. I would have to pay someone else to drive me. David's schedule changes every day and he could get called in for overtime at a moments notice.
When your baby is born, you make sure they have 10 toes and 10 fingers and all the right body parts in the right places. But what about the parts you can't see, the invisible pieces. Those become more visible as the child grows up. This blog is about my two sons' invisible pieces and how we are dealing with them as a family. I hope you follow along in the discovery of Our Invisible Pieces.
