Obstacles

I had many obstacles in my life.I've listed them below.

I often had to tend to my house wifely duties while running the whole farm while John was away. My bones ache to think of the work. Ugh!

Not being able to just skip down the road when ever I needed groceries was quite a pain. I often had to make it myself because of the boycott, and believe me when I say that skipping down the road is a lot easier.

While being worried about John Adams, I also had to worry about my children. When he was gone they were at the age when most young get sick and die. Sometimes I wish I lived in this time period when my children were being born. Even if I had to deal with all this shiny, complicated stuff I would have dearly loved to have healthy children. Most parents are not aware of how fortunate they are to have all their children in tact. But I know how it feels to lose a child, as I lost one myself. But I did not cry until 20 years later. Where I was comforting my daughter in the lost of one of her children.
