I live in Maryland with my husband and two sweet children. We moved here from New York City in 2001 and have to admit I am still trying to adjust to the culture shock! I am going to school for my education degree and am getting closer to my own 5th grade class - slowly but surely!  One of my difficulties of being a young mother is finding friends. My childrens' parents are significantly older than me, and the people that I know who are my age are not parents or married, so I do have a difficult time having an outside life. The one I do have is small but good, and I try real hard to keep it going well, although challenging, I do appreciate that they understand my responsibilities to my family. I worry often that my school is time away from my family, but it's fun when they offer to help me with my homework! We have so much fun together. I wish they would stop growing up! I'm sure many of you can agree! Life is what it is, and instead of wishing on the what ifs and has beens, I try to focus on the now and if I want it for me or my family, what I need to do to get it. Thus is life! A good friend once told me, if you want it then get it, don't stress about how you're going to afford it or pay for it - you will always find a way. So far she has been right.
