Watching my daughter

Watching my daughter yesterday I believe that I had that mommy moment of when you look at your child and you just stare in amazement at how beautiful they are. I never thought I could have a daughter. I myself am more of a tomboy and like to get dirty, though I do like the girly things it would be very rare if ever if you ever see me in a dress or skirt. Now my daughter you see is very prissy, very unlike me, until I seen her playing in the dirt and splashing around in puddles did I realize we aren't so different. Though she does carry purses and loves wearing dresses our personalities are a lot more alike then my mothers and mine. My mother didn't talk to me much growing up. We were so different and I thought there could be nothing different for my daughter and myself. Little did I know that I want my daughter and I to be close forever. I do know that we will have our ups and downs. I just want her to know she is my light. Without my children I wouldn't be the woman I am today. They have shaped me and molded me to be a great mother. I guess if you don't have children you wouldn't understand. You can still be yourself with children you just have to accept them and love them...it really isn't hard that make it so easy.

What we are taught when we are younger.

Look back to what were taught growing up. Women it's probably something like love is everything, fairy tales can come true yadda yadda yadda. Am I wrong? Men are taught to respect women or they are taught to not really regard them. I understand that everyone is raised differently and everyone's back ground is different. Though who really cares we are people who choose what we want out of life and how we make it. Don't act like the choice wasn't yours because it was. You will always face challenges and you will always have people that stand in your way and tell you that you can't. I was told when I got pregnant out of wedlock that I would never finish college. Well I have my business degree and I'm going back to get my RN degree against all odds. Has it been hard? I would have to say hell yea it has. I got divorced after I got my business degree from a man that wasn't taught how to treat a women. I just..how do you say it had to "Man up and get out." I took charge of my life and I wish other people in my life would as well. Just remember when your parents said you can be anything you want to be. I'm sure we have all heard that when we were younger. So take it and run with it. You have the strength maybe you just need a good kick in the ass.
