I wonder...

I am always wondering what it is that makes some mom's act as if they were there daughter's worst enemies. Like why they tend to put them down with their ever so mean comments or give the silent treatment in a foolishly attempt to make them change their mind about something or someone........

Why? Are mom's not able to just love their daughter's as they are. To value the person that they become and to nurture when needed?

Yeap...I have me one of those. And I am almost 100% convince that if it was not for my daughter, my own mom would have thrown me out a very long time ago. She is still resentful about me having gone away to school. Unbelievable...this was 10 years ago and she still carries this around!

Makes me wonder how I will be as a mother when my own daughter gets older. I sometimes have these visions that I turn out to be as hurtful as my own...but I shouldn't say or think this...perhaps because I am going through it.

In other news, my little baby is turning 3 on Wed. the 12th. I can't believe how fast these couple of years have just moved right along. I am happy with my munchkin. Heck of a lot of work but truly blessed. She is healthy, bright and very loving....what more can I ask for...only for her to continue to grow as she is and for us to be a true bond of what mother and daughter should be.

God bless!!!!

I can't believe it...

It's been almost a month since my last post.....trying to think about what to blog about....

Not much has been happening. I was able to take 5 days off to Santa Barbara, CA. This was relaxing and lot's of fun. My friend and I rented, along with one of her coworkers, a four seater bike. One of those that looks like a small golf cart. We rode it on the beach side and boy was it fun!!!! I can't wait to go back and take my daughter. I think it is something that she would enjoy.

I'm also planning my babys' 3rd birthday. I can't believe she is almost 3. Seems like not to long ago that I brought her into this world. She is now so big. Quite tall for her age. I'm often asked how old she is because of this. She's also very bright...not because she's my kid...she just amazes me how intelligent she is. She now knows her ABC's for a couple of months. She know how to count up to 20 although she often skips 9, 12 and 13 for some reason. She's been helping me out with her bed...and wants to be more and more independent. I let her...I try to teach her to do things on her own so that she feels included. I am truly blessed.

Well...that's all for now. I hope not another (almost) a month goes by before typing away.

Happy 4th of July all.

Be safe!!!!
