A Mom to Mom talk!

Man how I miss my Mom and Dad. I am so happy to see them, it makes me feel full just having them sit around me. Having them watch and talk to there grandson just totally enlightens my world! I know that may sound kind of over the top but its how I feel~

On that note lets talk!

When I was little I never wanted to stay the night places, I still to this day hear about how I would go to my grandparents they would feed me dinner then I would cry to go back home. I also did it in my pre-teen years. I vividly remember my Dad traveling ALL the time. Sometimes he was gone two weeks in a row. I think that every time I would stay the night somewhere it would be the weekend he came home! Not sure but that's the excuse that I toss it up to.

So on a happier note. My Mom and I were sitting on my sisters deck tonight and we were talking about having children and I remember why I only had one again and then of course Austin but he is my part timer. Dalton keeps me so busy and if you have two then you know that point at where the youngest goes to bed first and the older one is up a little longer ;well see I get to shut down, claim my time as soon as my one hits the bed! Its nice, maybe a little selfish but nice! I tell ya these two year old phases are pushing my turbo buttons! I feel like I don't really shut down and breath until about 7pm and that's when bubba hits the hay and typically my husband is in bed by then as well. double nice! :)

(I know I have rambled the last few paragraphs...so moving on)

So point to my story is, being a Mom is tough!! The times my Dad worked away my Mom had it rough. I am positive that we ran her into the dirt sometimes and many times when she said she would lock us outside to fight it out she really meant it! And that "Get out of my face" line that I swore I would never use and thought back then it was verbal abuse, I honestly see it coming!!! But I look at my Mom sitting on the porch, 55 years old and gorgeous, and I think...aren't you tired cause you don't look it? Arent you worn out cause you don't sound it? Nope she is the "W" in Woman and the "M" in Mother! I am proud of her faults and how she has handled them and I am proud of her dedication to our family, then, now and for the future! I love you Mom! Happy Mother's Day!
