Damnit Scott! How am I supposed to put my contacts in while I'm crying? I'm trying to get ready for work.

You really should collect these nuggets of wisdom into a book or something once your kids are older. Every time I start to get frustrated or doubt myself as a parent you drop a newsletter that reminds me that I am not alone and that I need to cherish these times. Thank you.

I really don't know what I am suppose to feel with this, it's like Scott decided to be Oprah and "everyone gets feels." I started with oh, boy here is what I have to look forward too, yes I can definitely commiserate with the Go The F to sleep (wonderful book), and man the gut shot with "this too will all pass" and I know I will want it all back. I already had to give up the nap time rock, thanks daycare, but I am fighting tooth and nail to hold onto the bedtime rocking.

I look at when our parents come and its magical for them again to read the books, do the bath, and rock her to sleep and not care the time it takes. While Mom and I are like we have to get this done by this time if we are to have some time tonight.

Talk about perspective.
