I went out last night, and yes it was on a weekday. I sat around all of my friends and i realized something. I have nothing to say to these people unless it has something to do with throw-up, poop, or any other (what used to be disgusting) topic. Time and time again i am amazed at how one being has changed my life. A baby will touch a man's heart but will grab onto his mothers. I very much so believe that. I find myself wishing for a break and when i finally get one, all i want to do is to be with my son. I have never been in love like this. It is something that no shoes would ever fill. Some days are harder than others but the moment i see him smile at me, i know that even the hard days are worth ever minute. Aint that something!
I am going to be 20 soon (going on 40) and this is the first year where, i dont even know what day it is. I dont know what i want and i dont even care. The once selfish, prudish girl now has no time to be any of those. I guess that is also because i am no longer a girl but a woman.
My days are getting shorter. I finally understand what people mean when they say, "there are not enough hours in the day." I spend 3 days a week working, 2 nights a week in school, (which by the way i am pulling amazing grades) and my days are dedicated to my son. I have no time for alot of the things i would like to do.
I also think that a mother is the most appreciated job there is. mother is there when you need her. Whether it be 2 pm or 2am. We have mother's day and that is it. I dont think Nick has really realized that it's nice to be recognized. That's alright though. I am absolutley Discusted by the fact or consept of kids yelling at there mothers. I suppose people dont know the reality untill you have a child of your own. It is such an incredibly hard job and our reward is having a child that will grow up and do something great with his life. I wish the world for my son. I want him to be the best kid in school, have lots of friends, never tell a lie, never touch dope, go to Harvard, be a great man, become the president, and die one of the most respected men to walk this universe. Wouldn't that be something?
I guess, in so so so many words i am just trying to say that i have a child that can make me stay awake at night with all the awful thoughts that may happen to him. I have a child that can break every nice thing that i own. I have a child that can make my nose bleed because he thinks its fun to ram his finger in my nose when i am sleeping. I have a son that ruins every article of clothing that i am even some what attached to. I have a son that can make my heart stop when he falls down. I have a son who cries when i walk away. I have a son who lights a room up with his smile when i walk into it. I have a son that runs to me and showers me with hugs and kisses for no particular reason. I have a son who means the world to me and there are no words to explain my love. AINT THAT SOMETHING!
"TO THE WORLD, YOU ARE ONE PERSON.
BUT TO ONE PERSON, YOU ARE THE WORLD"
That saying has been following me throughout my life!
