I know how much energy IF has taken out of me and many days, I try to take it back. <BR/><BR/>wishing you a much HAPPIER you for the time being. You are too special to not take care of yourself too. <BR/><BR/>*hug*Kirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17894442143508446312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29669025.post-22353877933230194462007-05-20T21:31:00.000-05:002007-05-20T21:31:00.000-05:00It's so true--IF controls your whole world and the...It's so true--IF controls your whole world and the sacrifices you make are so far-reaching.

Not to place myself, my husband, my friends, my career always below the potential child, but at same time recognizing that this is important to me. It seems especially hard to do all of this sacrificing when the outcome is so uncertain in the end. But it is a tough lesson to learn, and it's one that I'm still struggling with.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02799401502134619497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29669025.post-459187092369266002007-05-20T08:38:00.000-05:002007-05-20T08:38:00.000-05:00I have to say that when I look around me, the wome...I have to say that when I look around me, the women who refused to sacrifice are the ones with lots of kids.

I think the only way we can teach our future children to live happy lives is by showing them how to make the right mental decisions. I truly believe this is a step in the right direction.
