It kills you to see them grow up.  But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.

How I Became a Mom...

Almost nine years ago, I married the most wonderful man in the world. I was an independent woman, with an MBA, on a career track in a strategy consulting group. Our life was lavish vacations, dinners out, and a chequing account that never ran low.

For our first anniversary we went on a golf vacation. My husband got his first and only hole-in-one, and nine months later we had our first child.

Now I don't work, I can't do grade one math, I eat the left-overs off my kids plates, I am broke, and I don't even get to go to the bathroom alone.

I never wanted to be a mother. Growing up, I never played with dolls, imagined a big, white wedding, or even expected to be married. But I guess the great thing about life is that nothing works out the way you plan. Isn't it wonderful?

I love my children more than anything else in the world. I wouldn't change a thing about my current life (except a full time housekeeper / nanny / chef / personal trainer and a couple of million dollars in the bank). I had three children in less than four years, and become something that I never imagined I would be... A STAY AT HOME MOM!
