Kids

Kids are funny when small butttt .. wow they change before you know it .. not that they don't have a sense of humor when grown but gosh they are cuties when little and that's all I'll say about that ROFL!!

Ya, I have some who don't speak to me and not sure why but I am sure they have reasons which make sense to themselves .. 


I am happily married to a man who raised 5 of my children and we had 1 together .. 

I love all my kids and am very proud of each and everyone of them.  I love all my grand kids but life is to short to worry over things you can't change or make as you'd like them to be .. 


I lost a son when he was 17yrs old which put a huge hole in my heart, I miss him terribly but I embrace the 17 yrs I got to spend with him.  I'd do somethings differently if I had the chance .. Like (for instance) I'd be sure to spend more time with my kids .. listening more, and hugging more .. you know .. just stuff that should come naturally.  You see, for me though .. I never thought of losing a child nor did I ever believe that any of my children would not speak to me .. I was very close to my mom and loved her with all my heart .. though we argued a lot too but hey that is life .. it's the battle of I want to be my own boss sort of thing .. 

I guess if I had to point out some bad parenting things of myself it was that I talked on the phone to much .. or pushed my kids opinions aside .. though I did hear all them and their ideas I didn't make it clear to them I was interested .. but ya know we are who we are and unfortunately only in later years do we realize our mistakes .. when it is to late to go back and do things differently.

I am a 'Mom'

Always and forever .. as far back as I remember .. I wanted to be a mom!!  Well, I am a mom and I might add a fairly decent one .. I never had a drug problem of any nature.. 


My kids were and (even as adults) are everything to me .. Funny how we never know for sure how they'll turn out but I must say I am proud of them all.  They are typical people .. learning as they go along in life, as I had to do myself and we all learn that way .. with real life experiences.


Sure, there are things they don't like about me .. (though I can't think of any reason not to love me ROFL) but that is how we grow into adulthood by wanting to be and do better than our parents .. it isn't till later that we "see" or realize we are our parents .. what a shocking piece of knowledge the day we realize that we are our parents.  Some say you look like your mom or dad or both but I am talking of finding yourself being the same as they were!!  I mean .. it is shocking to realize that and yes, I myself had that experience too!!

Howdy

So nice that you stop by to visit .. I hope to add things here about myself or anything that just pops into my mind!
