Day 1-Pride Man this will probably be the hardest to do
1) I am a very diplomatic person and I'm proud of it. My ability to stay calm and not get embroiled in heated conflict easily has salvaged what would have been a shitty situation otherwise. It's also a testament to my maturity.
2) I am a damn fine mother. I'm not perfect but no parent is. But I love my children fiercely and I do all I can to ensure they feel loved and wholly accepted.
3) I am proud of my marriage. I'm proud that my children have two parents in the home because I watched my mother struggle as a single parent, and then gamble on new relationships that turned sour. My kids will grow up seeing a loving stable relationship and I hope that they will in turn go on to have great relationships themselves. We have been to hell and back, and survived naysayers and shit talkers and I have the longest standing stable relationship not just in my family, but among ANYONE I know in person. I have watched other relationships wither and die while we chugged along, working through our shit storms. When haters have been happy the same person for almost 12 years they can come holla at me.
4) I have a fine ass husband. This may be shallow of me but it gives me a healthy dose of pride when he dresses up, looks like a walking Gap model, and then takes me somewhere where bitches can gawk and in some cases openly envy what I have. His heart and mind will keep me coming for the rest of our lives, but his chiseled jaw, warm brown eyes, strong hands, and the six pack he still maintains doesn't hurt either. I never get tired of the hungry look he gives me when it's sexytime, and I love that we still act like randy teenagers after two kids and a shit ton of sleep deprivation.
5) I have gorgeous babies. I don't need the affirmation of perfect strangers but I get it all the time. They have stunning eyes, disarming smiles, and beautiful curls. I was half of a dynamic genetic combination looks wise and I know it. When they are older they will be lady and man killers and I'll be beating mofos back with a stick because most of them won't be good enough.
6) I'm an extremely creative person. Be it photography, writing, story telling, or singing, I'm pretty damn good in at them all, making me more than a triple threat. In writing alone I've written more good stuff in one year than some creative writing majors have in their portfolio after four years of college.
7) I'm smart as shit, especially for someone who hasn't finished college. I never approach a subject thinking I won't get it, I have every confidence that I will come to understand the concepts of the subject, even if it's not something that comes easy to me. I'm not pedantic about it either, I don't need to posture and I'm not cocky, but at the end of the day I know I'm smarter than most people I meet.
