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.

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have ...

So Whats up with my oddly normal life?

 Huh huh? Cus it seems that I am never ever updating my blog these days. I am such a sloth!  Things happen and I think how I should blog about them and then I figure they are not really so interesting if you were not here. Then I remember I blog for me, not really for someone else. I want to be able to remember things, to come back and go oh yeah... Those were the days. Or whatever. I can't do that if I don't blog it.  I am going to try to be more regular with the blogs again, even if its what I made for dinner, and  how my husband kept me up snoring. If it doesn't interest you, you don't have to read it right!? :)  So whats been going on? the kids are growing. I got contacts, I am not sure how I feel about them just yet. Sometimes they are great, and sometimes I feel like I have an eye full of hair. Sometimes I can see great with them in, and other times everything is blurrier than when I had  them out. Meanwhile I wear my scratched up glasses while ...

Time Flies

A year ago today my best friend gave birth to her second little boy. TWO years ago tomorrow my first granddaughter was born. Both seem like yesterday, but also so long ago. Two years in a row almost on the same day I got to watch the miracle of life happen... I have done it myself four times, but it never ceases to amaze me. To watch it is just amazing that our body does that. GROWS someone in side of us and then gets that someone OUT. Just amazing. Life is stressing me out right now however, I am trying to take this weekend to just tune out anything and everything that is getting to me, just have fun, go to birthday parties, eat cake and not worrry. Not worry about bills or calories or my steps (I even took my fit bit off) Just be me, just enjoy what there is in life to enjoy. My amazing friends, and my crazy family and the hot summer weather.
