Being An Aunt


i am an aunt - called MiMi

one that is having to figure out how to do that with 3 kids of my own

one that loves my nieces and nephew like crazy

one that is having to find the way that they fit into my busy life

there is not a pattern to follow

it is not as easy as I thought that it would be

cookies, milk, slumber parties, time getting to know them

their little personalities

not yet - not like i'd like, anyway

someday

i pray

Okay, I totally know what you mean! Before we had kids, Mia was my pride and joy. I mean she was spoiled by her Auntie! But when Sam came along, it all changed. I really hate it too. I still make an effort to have girl time with her, but it's not nearly as often as before.
