"If I Could Turn Back Time ..."

No, I'm not Cher, but sometimes I wish I could turn back time and do things better... I spent a snow day at home with Logan yesterday, working from home of course, but nevertheless at home with my son on a weekday. I've been wishing over the past several weeks/months that we had chosen to have more children. Maybe we could have immediately after Logan was born, but at our ages, we were worried about keeping up with ONE child, so we didn't do it then and now 10 years have suddenly passed. I worry about Logan being an only child and how we have spoiled him so much. I worry about him not having any brothers or sisters to lean on when he's older, or to play with now. He is so dependent on Artie and me for everything, including entertaining him, and I don't think we do a very good job sometimes. I just have a melancholy feeling that the opportunity has passed to have a bigger family. I wish I could have been more motivated when I worked from home as a transcriptionist. It could have been the perfect set-up, working full-time, but on my own schedule and being more available to my child. Oh well, nothing I can do about it now I suppose.
I have a new scrap class tonight, making a book called True Love. I wanted to do this class because so much of my scrapping is Logan-related or the nieces, all children things. This book will be about me & Artie, from when we met until now, and it will be fun to concentrate on us, what we've been through and where we are today. I am so very blessed to have a husband who still loves me and has really been there for the long haul, raising Logan, helping care for my ailing dad ...I can't believe we've been married 22 years!
