Karma's Mic. Drop

As Karma would have it I am about to drop the mic, on this subject once and for all I have held it in long enough. As Karma would have it I have long since struggled with the reality that I am for all intents and purposes a feminist. For those of you not familiar with this term according to Webster's it is defined as: The Belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. 

And as a feminist that comes from a family where the majority are women, we just welcomed our 14th girl into this family for those of you that are keeping count. I just want to say this, as ALL my girls go out into the world my prayer for them is simple for them to meet someone who will treat them as an equal. My hope for them is that they will be strong and independent, that they will not wait for the knight in shinning armor to come and rescue them while it does not mean that we don't need a helping hand every once in a while. It simply means that we have enough smarts to know how to make our way in the world as an EQUAL.
As karma would have it hubs and I are just that,equals we do fight,we do disagree but we also agree that our life as a couple is an equal endeavor after all raising children is a tag team sport. As all my girls go out into the world and meet their future spouses, life partners what have you , my hope for them is this that hubs and I had enough influence on them that they will never ever dumb themselves down in order to make whomever they choose in life feel superior to them. Nor should they feel superior over anyone else. 
Girls are not all pink, with soft,squishy marshmallow centers we are something deeper and way more complicated then we ourselves know. It has taken me,we, women as a whole a very long time to get to this point in life where we are consider equal to men. So for those haters and shade throwers out there that want to know why movies are now casting an all female cast in certain blockbuster movies I say again that we are ALL CREATED EQUAL....

Karma's and a day at the races

Image
As Karma would have it even when I try to take a day and get away karma somehow finds a way to follow me. When hubs and I first started to date we decided that we needed a weekend to go somewhere and have some fun, We asked dear old dad and my sis -K- to join us. So off we went to play the ponies at Hot Springs,Arkansas. We packed up the car got up early and hit the road. It is about a 3 or 4 hour drive from where we live so we got up in plenty of time to make the first race. Things seemed to be going smoothly until my car begin to make a knocking noise and slowly spurted to a stop.  We all piled out of the car raised the hood to take a look. Nothing seemed out of the to be awry, We tried to crank the car once more. Dear old dad listened to the engine as it rattle and banged and announced that his diagnosis was that we seemed to have a rod knocking. Thus making us unable to drive the car to our destination. We also seem to be in a very unpopulated area we were not eve...

Karma's Ode to Mom's

Image
With Mother's Day fast approaching I wanted to wax poetic about the wondrous days I spent starry eyed at being a new parent how I breast fed how all my children were breast fed and toilet trained right out the womb and how little honey dew melon, her sister lemon drop and I sat under our willow tree in the moonlight weaving our own clothes.................... But as Karma would have it I was not that mom I was that other mom you know the one that needed a paycheck and had to go back to work when her first baby was only a month old  so forgot about the whole breast feeding thing.  I was that mom you know the one that had deer caught in headlights, don't know what the hell she is doing kind of look.  I was that mom you know the one that went to work with baby snarf on her shoulder all day because no one bothered to tell me.  I was that mom you know the one that had 3 rowdy kids trailing behind her all wearing outfits of their own choosing. The oldest...

Karma's Bragging Rights ~A Love Letter To My Children

Image
As Karma would have it Mothers Day is upon us this weekend to be precise. I am overcome with love and pride at the adults my children have become. I want them to know how much I love them and how I am who I am as a mother because of them. The flowers they give me may wilt, the ink may fade away on the cards I am given but there is something they have gifted me that will last a lifetime.  My baby bird gifted me this: Motherhood at a young age when I was on the road of self destruction due to low self-esteem. She opened my eyes to the wonders and joy that the world had to offer with her natural curiosity of the things around her. She gave my life true meaning  My wyld child gifted me this: Patience and imperfection, patience in that we all children learn at their own pace to she taught me to let things happen naturally and in due time. Imperfection in that is there is no such things as being the perfect parent we are all different as are the children we raise so I lean...
