What have you done for me lately?

I was told today by one of my children...I do nothing for her. this prompted me to compile a quick list- just what I can think of off the top of my head.

Lets see well start with

★ carried you inside my own body for 9+ months. Eating well, sleeping well, not drinking or smoking and ttaking vitimans that made me gag.
★ THIRTY SIX HOURS of labor and pushing...your head by the way was OVER the 100 percentile in size (larger than most)
★ I awoke every time you did, for at least 6 months that was more than once per night.
★wiped your butt. Changed your clothes. Cleaned your vomit.
★ Dr visits. One well ccheck per year, not to mention ER visits in the middle of the night when Dr was closed
★ taught you to walk, talk, count, your body parts, animal sounds, numbers, answered all your "why's" (there were a lot! )
★signed you up for sschool. Made sure you were dressed fed and ready. Worried if you remembered your lunch code, did you make friends, were kids being nice to you, were you being nice, did you eat your lunch, did you find your bus
★ threw you birthday parties, took you to friend birthday parties. Bought gifts for both.
★ help with homework, projects, take you to library bought school supplies
★ clothed you and got you new shoes for 16 years. Pads tampons makeup hairstuff haircuts. I not only took you to get those things....but paid. For. Them too.
★kept a. Steady job. A. Consistent roof over your head and all the needed bills on. Even paid for your cell service for 3 years.
★ Took you to apply for jobs. To interviews. To and from work. Bought you work clothes.
★last but certainly not least I have came and gotten you ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION when you were in trouble. Had I not come and "bailed you out" so to speak....you wouldn't have been at home in your own bed those nights.
★taking you to court tomorrow and to a lawyers last week.

Your right though. I don't do anything for you. This house is HORRIBLE your on the verge of abused daily and I don't care about you one little bit. That is obvious in all the things I dont do for you.

Life sucks now? Wait till your eighteen!

I became a mom very young. I missed a lot of. Opportunities for myself. never once. Have I. Wished to change a thing. Never once have I felt ANY of my children were mistakes.

I got my GED. I got married. I cook healthy meals. I saved and budget so that we have a roof over our heads. Quite frankly I feel I do a LOT and what's more....even when no one notices, or no one cares, or when you hate me for having "stupid rules" when your lying, in trouble, slamming a door in my face or bad mouthing me to your boyfriend....I always love you....just as much as I loved you the day you were born. The day my life changed forever because that day I knew what a mothers love felt like.

Rapture

I never knew, until I think Wednesday this week, that Saturday was the "end of the world" or the rapture or whatever people are saying its supposed to be. I think its funny that someone has said the world was going to end, and now the day before people are just taking notice. I mean last week, no one mentioned a thing. This week the whole place is going crazy. Either with people freaking out, or people making fun of the whole idea. Oh well, no point freaking out about it if you ask me. If its happening its happening. I highly doubt I am one of the ones who would be chosen to be pulled up at this point. I believe in God, and I do think I will go to heaven but I do not think I live my life closely enough to what God would want, to be taken up before the 7 year wrath and all that. I guess that is a horrible thing to admit, but I really think that very few people would be taken at this point. So the end of the world upon us, I made some good money at work tonight. I was also ...

Its not always 50/50

Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter. So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well. God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

The Lady In Red

T he Frisco festival was this weekend. Fun times. Free rides, well this year half the rides were free. A band playing live and just fun all around. We always go of course, any time anything is free, were there! Since we are not cool Destiny went with some friends and not us. Bailey was staying the night with a buddy so the 2 girls that were home, I told could bring a friend... Fun times. At one point they were waiting in line for a slide/funhouse ride, after a certain point of waiting in line they were finally up to the part with the sign: At the bottom the sign says "If you are in the red sorry you cannot ride the ride" Hannah is standing there, and she is looking quite concerned after a while... She looks at me and she says "mama, Lauren cannot ride this ride." then she points to the sign. Oh yes, Lauren is VERY MUCH so over the green line... Heck Lauren is taller than Hannah so I am thinking what is your deal girl??! Hannah then looks ...
