7 Appeals to Moms from Women Without Children

This was an awesome read. Coincidental, as I just had a mini "dinks" conversation. I love my daughter A TON, wouldn't trade her for the world and I feel like I'm a damn good mom. I feel like I've managed to keep a balance of being a good mom and still being an individual, as well. "The grass is always greener...." right?

There is nothing wrong with living your life for you, as much as there is nothing wrong with living your life for your kids. I'm just always the eclectic asshole, that tries to do both. I will never withhold from my daughter, so that I may have more. Her needs and wants will always come first and I'll go without, if need be. However, I'll sure as hell work harder so that we both can have as much as possible out of life. She knows she's number one, but she also knows mommy is a human being and an individual too.

So proud

Who's a proud momma? Me! That's who! Sam scored a 132 on her IQ Test and is in the 98th percentile. They want to move her into the accelerated program next year. However, this means switching schools.... AGAIN. I explained everything to her and told her it was her decision. After all she's been through this year..   forcing her into something like this is not on my agenda. Sam's response: "I'll think about it. The answer will probably be yes. I want to learn as much as I can, even if it means leaving my friends." So damn proud right now.
