Linus Alexander Euclid

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a mom. I wanted my own babies.
I've worked in the church nursey since I was young, I've babysat for alot of kids, I've worked for the local high school daycare center. I also worked for a daycare in town but couldn't stand the ladies own kids so I had to leave. Then in 1997, I started working with Eugene's mom in her daycare. I loved it. I love hanging out with kids and being goofy. Going to work everyday was fun because I was able to play all day long. Either with dolls, trucks, coloring, crafts, even playdoh.
Almost 5 years ago, my husband and I bought a business in town so I left the daycare. It wasn't easy but I knew that I was beginning to get stressed out a little so it was time. I like my new job but at times, being alone can really get to me. Thank goodness for my neighbor E. She makes my job so much nicer because if I get lonely, I go visit her. We even have snacks together sometimes. Lately, I have been stressed for lack of business and I got visit her and she always makes me feel better.

Over 3 years ago, she moved in next door and I knew we were going to be great friends. I "vent" with her alot and she with me. Well, when I found out I was going to be a mom, I ran and told her as soon as I got back from the doctors office. She was so excited for me and told me I was going to be a great mom.
Shortly after, I called my best friend and told her. She sounded happy for me but then it the back of my mind, I knew she wanted another baby too. 4 weeks later she calls and tells me she's pregnant also. Our kids were born 3 weeks apart. Linus and Abby are good friends.
We go camping together whenever we get the chance and those two are into everything. They are filthy by the end of the day. Sure, I get a little crazy when my boy gets dirty but I do know that he's having fun being outside and playing in the dirt.
I would never change the fact that I'm Linus' mom. I just wish that he didn't have to grow up so fast. Being with him brings such joy and happiness. Something I wish it would never end.
I'm trying to savor every moment we are together, even if that means while we watch Nemo, again, for the 20th time. : )
