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

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 leaned to adjust my parenting skills accordingly.

My baby boy, my youngest gifted me this: Quiet, peaceful demur and laughter. He is the epitome of what a true gentleman should be. He is kind, funny and easy going.He showed me that it was okay to laugh with your children about life's mishaps. He helped me see the humor in the mundane. 

I am proud of the adults my children have become and of the hard work they do every day. They all gave collage a try two succeeded but again they are each unique individuals and made my trip to motherhood worth all the blood, sweat , tears and spilled milk that comes with it worth it. 

So Thank you to my kids for gifting me those things that made me, mom.

I have to add a footnote: A shout out if you will to another kid (Pamela) though no blood relation of any kind she gifted me this: A part of her daughters lives thus giving me granddaughters that I share a special bond with they bring me joy even on my most darkest days. I think of her as another one of my children, so when people ask Yes, Yes I do have grandchildren for after all.....
To quote Eric Kripke "Family doesn't end with blood, but it doesn't start there either. Family cares about you, no what you can do for them Family's there through the good, the bad, all of it. They got your back even when it hurts. That's Family"

Karma's and a day at the races

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...
