For me madre.

Growing up, I often remember my mom saying... "Cant I ever just drink a diet coke by myself??" or, "cant I ever just take a bath without being interrupted?" and so on and so on. (Just so you know, it was never me disturbing my mother.. I was the perfect child) :) I always thought to myself... can sharing with your kids really be that bad?? (I dont mean this in a sarcastic, rude way... just an honest question.) Ok mom, I feel your pain. Its like a rude awakening. Its not that its so horrible to share with your kids, sometimes you just wanna drink a drink without sharing, sometimes you wanna just take a shower alone, sometimes you just wanna go to the bathroom alone, sometimes you just wanna be on the computer without little fingers pounding away at the keys on the side, sometimes you just wanna text someone without those same little fingers right there helping you. Sometimes you wanna eat a meal without a malnourished (HA!!!) child making you feel guilty. Sometimes, you just wanna be selfish and there is absolutely nothin wrong with that!!!!!  I do realize that I only have 1 child right now and its only been 10 short months and that I have a very long way to go. Some of you without kids may be reading this thinkin that Im crazy and thinkin exactly what I thought when I heard these same words coming from my moms mouth and then there are some that are like oh ya!! I so know what your talkin about.  I am sure that you could make some boundaries but I just think that it would not be an easy thing right now, when she is older, that will probably be a different story. But on the other hand.. this is my thinking process... ok, she is napping, maybe I'll drink a DP or eat a popsicle (madelynn's most favorite thing ever) by myself and the whole time im thinkin man, she would LOVE this... Ill have to save the last bit for her. What to do... what to do???

 Now dont get me wrong, I love this kid to death (in case you couldnt tell form reading my blog.) I would do anything you asked me to do for her, she is my world and I couldnt imagine every single day without her chubby little body with me. Its a complicated thing I tell ya. So to my sweet wonderful loving mother, I appologize for all those (very few) sips I took of your DC and for knockin on the door while you were in the shower just to ask you a silly question and for not lettin you be selfish from time to time!! Also, I say THANK YOU for all those delicious meals you cooked and put time into for our family cuz I know how stinky it is for everyone to get up and walk away and you be stuck with dishes and feelin rather unappreciated!!! Yes mom, the day has come that every mom waits for... your kid realizes all the things you did for them and appreciates it!!! (just so you know, I have realized this for awhile but am just now tellin you about it) Love ya mom!!!
