very good point.

i think i thought, can actually have it all. but, i know when i had my first baby i said.... hell no. not even gonna try. dont want o be no superwoman. lol. too tired and just not good enough. and that was ok by me. no pressures for me. i dont do those.

but, i like your point. that is very good.
