School's Out!!!!

School's out!!!! Now I have three, yes, count them THREE Kids in my house at pretty much the same time. I can't complain, my kids are soooo different than what I was afraid they would be... Of course, that's because I keep expecting them to be like some of the kids I see everywhere else. They really aren't "kids" anymore, now they are 23, 19, and 15 years of age. And what an experience!

I am NOT the type of mother who claims her kids are "little angels". I know what each of them is capable of. They are capable of driving me crazy (but they keep me sane), steering me to drink(lots and lots of tea), going over the deep end (I bungi jump off the sidewalk), and using up my last good nerve (of which I don't remember where I left the first one).

They are also capable of making me smile, feel the power of love, hear the music in my heart, dispel my dark clouds, enjoy the breezes, laugh at myself, conquer the world. They are the true meaning of Unconditional Love. Thank you, for giving me the world.

Every day I wonder what I did right, where it came from, and everyday, I remember what Mami said to me the day I was expecting my first child and feeling doubtful about being a good mother. Mami asked "Do you love what is growing inside of you?" I said yes, she said "Then that's all you need, love will guide your hand, and the rest will fall into place." Mami...your wisdom still astounds me.
