So as titled...and here I am blogging. I remember when I didn't have children, 9+ years ago and I always told myself I would never be a blogger, drive a minivian, or yell at other kids for running on my front yard where I'm trying to grow grass. But again, here I am doing all of it and more. I even say things that my mom said to me. The things I always said I would never say. "I said no, end of story!", "If you are bored, go clean your room!" and my favorite..."If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all!"
All of these things, which seemed so goofy coming from my mom, now make sense to me. I always thought that I would not be like my mom, but I am and I think it's great! It makes me feel like I am doing something right. After all, here I am alive and well. I have a family of my own. Kayla who is going to be 10 in 7 days is going into the 5th grade and doing great. She acts just like me (which my mom always said I would have a child just like me), she loves cheerleading and loves being the center of attention! I think my mom was right. Madison who is going to be 5 in a few weeks is one big giant bundle of energy who hasn't quite learned how to dispense it properly. And then my sweet baby, Ashlyn who is 2 and always asking questions about everything. All she wants is affection and answers.
In short, we always think our mom is mean, or doesn't understand. But as I am learning, it's quite the opposite. They aren't being mean when they say we can't walk down by the railroad tracks and they do understand when your crying over a boy who broke your heart when they say it will get better in time.
Welcome to my world!!
