Children ~ Not me!

When I was younger I thought I had it made. I could go anywhere and do anything. I would think nothing of packing a small bag and leaving for a few days. Looking back now I guess that wasn't the smartest b/c people never really missed me. They would just say "MeG's on one of her mini vacations, she'll be back." Luckily for me, I always was.
Sure I had friends with children, but they annoyed me to say the least. Yet they always seemed attracted to me. I was staying with a friend whose grandson came over. He was nagging me to play. One day I told him ok if you run around the block I'll play with you. Grandma caught him going out the door and he told her. She put her loving arm around him and just said "I don't think MeG wants to play today. (We lived backed up against a golf course) No, I wouldn't have let him leave! Another friend's son at the bowling alley had some older boys steal his quarters in the gameroom. Yes, he came crying to me. I helped him out.
Then I got pregnant. Little did I know my life was going to change forever!! I could not wait for them to hand me my sons. I could not believe you could love somebody so much. I would do anything for either of my boys. My heart breaks when either of them are hurting a thousand times then whenever I was hurt. And when something good happens I just want to shout it to the world. You can't even stay mad at them. Five minutes later it's like nothing happened. My younger boy once asked "How can you yell at me one minute and worry the next." I answered him by saying "You're my son and I'll always worry about you. Besides you're a part of me and I would never stay mad at myself!" He just gave me a hug. That hug was the reason!
