Today I had my eyes opened to the changes I am going through. Used to when not so fun situations took place I would leave embarrassed and apologetic. Now I find myself taking things head on. Comments don't affect me like they used to. Someone can say something And I will respond with a WHAT? or even respond with a comment that will generally stop people from talking. I think that most people live in a immaginary world where they think children should be perfect and never act out or even have a bad day or be overwhelmed. I am raising a child NOT a robot. My friend said that the other day and I totally agree. My son is a tiny person who has thoughts and feelings. Being 3 he can't quite express what he's feeling and thinking. He can try and I understand him most of the the time but when he's frustrated he acts out. And you know what when I'm frustrated I want to act out too sometimes! Today I realized that I am thicker skinned. And that even the most innocent of comments aren't directed at me or my parenting. I am doing the best that I can. And that is all anyone can ask for. I am really thankful for my friends who back me up and remind me that I AM doing a good job. Most people don't realize how hard it is to have your husband in and out ALL THE TIME. It really is hard for kiddos to grasp and there is an adjustment period. Anyway I am a wonderful mother and wife. And guess what I love my little boy so much I want more. Call me crazy! Call me insane! Admit me! But I love being a mommy and I love that Blake is MY son. He may be hard to deal with but guess what GOD DOESN'T GIVE YOU KIDS YOU CAN'T HANDLE!
Much Aloha,
Amber and Blake :)
