Introduction of self

Hello all-
As you know my name is Carmen. I am a mother of 2 wonderfully stressful young babies. I am 25 years old, my daughter Payten is 14 months old and my son Teagan is 3 months old. Having 2 babies less than a year apart is as close to having twins as you can get! The only problem is they are in two different stages of development and jealousy plays a huge role. I live with my boyfriend and our children...marriage was in the near future until we had our son and it seems to have been put on the back burner. LOL. Not like we don't have enough stress already add a wedding to that! Ahhhh! I am currently in my 3rd term at EOU and really like it so far. I think there are a lot of difficulties that I have had dealing with questions and understanding everything but it has all came out with great grades so far. My boyfriend and I are currently looking for our first home and it is a lot easier said than done. There doesn't seem to be anything that we like in our price range...very frustrating. I have been doing a lot lately and I am doing everything I can to make sure that no one or nothing gets left out or behind. Being a mother is the most rewarding thing I have ever done but it is also the most stressful. I wish that I knew every other mothers secret. I walk through Walmart and see these well behaved quiet children and wonder what their mothers did to get them to act so well. My boyfriend and I are both very outspoken people (I know weird couple) so our children are very energetic and loud. I have learned though that getting stressed out because your child is making a scene in a store does nothing but make it worse for you. I just laugh and smile because at some point almost every person watching has been there and felt what you are feeling. No matter whats going on or how stressed out I am all it takes a smile or giggle from my children and everything is wonderful again.
