Queen among men: Raising boys to the mother

I never thought in a million years I would have two boys. Of course, I wanted children, but I wanted a particular girl and a boy. So to change my way of thinking, after the second second-level ultrasound indicated I had yet another guy was pretty hard for me.

Now I am here, life is as I understand it will never be the same. Instead of happy hour after work and all day Saturday shopping with my friends, I discovered that I spend most ofmy time at sporting events. Of course, I'm married, but that is part 2 of my ezine (residence). I never have time for myself, I gained weight, and just want a whole life had given me bad cards. I found myself screaming at my children, and often is not fun to be together. Then I hit, like Tonka trucks my son met my foot, enough is enough!
