parenthood!!!

hello my friends!! i am soooooooooooooo lovin this weather!! the peepers are out!! and that is my most favorite sound in the whole world!! i love to just sit outside at night and listen to mutual of omaha going on in my yard LOL!!!
i am going to start todays blog with a quote and end with a quote. my son's birthday was yesturday, so of course i spent the day trying to make sure he had a great time and wondering if i was really a good parent!!

psychologists believe that every aspect of our lives, all our thought processes and behavior patterns are the direct result of our relationship to our parents...that every relationship we have is really just another version of that first relationship. its just us trying over and over again to get it right.(grey's anatomy)

yeah, i don't know if i buy that, do you? i mean, my parents were great, my mom still is and look at me! LOL i haven't made the best choices in my relationships!!!but i think i am doing a good job as a mom. and i know people who have had the worst parents in the world and they are best parents now, and their relationships seem fine to me. we get make our own choices when we grow up. my dad always said that you can't help how you start out in this world, whether it's good or bad, but you sure as hell can write the ending to your own story. so, choose to be a good parent, and if you struggle a little so what. its not a crime to ask for help or advice. i do all the time. it makes you a better person because that means you want to do the best job you can.

it's the most important job in the world. you probably should need a license to do it, but then most of us wouldn't even pass the written exam. some people are naturals, they were born to do it. some have other gifts. but the good news is biology dictates you don't have to do it alone. you can waste your whole life wondering. but the only way to find out what kind of parent you'll be is to stop talking about it and just do it.

until next time....safe journey.
