Remembering...

I sat thinking about my daughters and I was just remembering what my second youngest daughter once told me. She was 3 at the time and you know at that age, they have so much energy and it’s tiring just to keep up. So I was so tired and frustrated that I told her “would you please keep still, it’s like you have ants in your pants?” She completely stopped in her tracks and looked in her pants and looked at me and innocently said, “no, mommy I don’t have ants in my pants!”


I was completely floored by her remark that I didn’t know how to react, if I should scold her for being funny or just laugh. I guess that was JUST HER 2 CENTS!

My Daughter turns 17...

On August 28, 1993 at the age of 18, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. On that day, I never really knew how much a person can love another & that day, I felt a gush of love for this little girl that I just pushed out of me & was covered in gunk & all. I never quite understand how one person could just love right there & then. She has given me so much blessing, also with tons of headaches...LOL! But, I love my daughter so much & on the 28th she turned 17. That is why I didn't blog in the last 2 days. I was cherishing the time of her birthday & also reflecting the last 17yrs of her life & just remembering. I know we all wish that our children can just be children & stay that way. But, that day I realize that she is a young woman ready to embark on her life & that I have to cherish what time I have with her before she moves out of my home & starts her new adventure. I am not ready, but when the time comes I have to be, regardless if I don't like it at all & that’s Just My 2 Cents!
