My husband and I often say this when things get crazy . . . "Well, this is the life we're living!" What does it mean? That we're in the thick of things, and we're in it together. That our children are a priority and often dictate what we can and can't do. That we'd better enjoy, because soon it will all be over.
Our lives are complicated and yet, somehow, elevated by our children. Our only daughter is nineteen years old and a great friend; our second son, sixteen, has severe disabilities; our four-year-old is hilarious and hyperactive; our 21-month-old is getting a little sassy and wants to quit wearing a diaper. They make us feel so young and so old at the same time.
