Love is forever.

"Sometimes love is not enough. It's important, but not enough." Bullshit. Seriously, that's bullshit. When the guy and the girl are making the decisions and all involved (just them) are safe, that's just not the case. OK, I was watching Prime, with Uma Thurman and Meryl Streep. I loved this movie. Loved it. Up until the very end, at which time I decided I hate it. It was a *complete* waste of time. (I'm very tired and have been a bit emotional this evening/early morning, so perhaps you should take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. Not really the content, but the delivery...the vehemence.) Anyway, I'm just so annoyed! She was 37 and he was 23. She desperately wants a baby and he is just coming into his own as a painter. So what???? Have a baby together! (Getting married first would be best.) But, come on! Is having children going to ruin your life? What? Do you need to go and have a certain number of experiences before you can settle down with a family and kids, otherwise you're being robbed of a certain right(rite) that is essential for ultimate contentment? Just give me a huge break. Ugh! I'm so frustrated and annoyed!!!!!!! I so wanted to love that movie!!!!!! Blah!

The actors were amazing, though, especially Meryl Streep who, incidentally, is 6 years older than my mom. ;)

I guess I just don't look at love like a lot of others do, with others meaning "the world." If you find true and deep and meaningful love with a soulmate, you do everything you can to hold onto that and you make it work. KWIM?

The kids are sick. Poor Luke finds it hard to breathe while nursing and Katie's little lips and nose are chapped. :( Finally up by myself, I'd like to watch at least part of a movie right now, but I feel I'd better sleep while I have the chance. Luke is not sleeping well at all because he's not feeling well and his sleeping wasn't even that great before he got sick, as he's working on some teeth. :(

I sure love Katie. I'm trying to make more of a concerted effort to find ways to bond with Katie because I get so distracted with Luke...

Ugh, Luke's awake.

A little later.
Of course, I love both of the kids tremendously! It's just that sometimes I feel an irritation with Katie and I know it's unfair. She's still so little. She needs her mommy, too, but often I just have no patience with her. :( So, I'm trying to deliberately take more time with her and to connect with her. I'm probably not doing it enough, but it still counts for something, right? It's so hard being a mom. I have so much trouble with two kids; I don't want to have anymore. I really don't. I'm thrilled to have the ones I have; believe me! I just don't see how I could mentally handle having to care for more, especially with Katie and Luke still so little. Brian and I often say we feel our quiver is full. I do believe we would be open to having more if we felt God calling us to it.
