@ Lisa,

Yeah, my mama cursed me like that, and it has come full circle! Only she is now the nice one, and I’m all frazzled because of my son’s behavior.

I’ll say it like Bill Cosby said it: “You’re looking at an old person who wants to get into heaven now. That’s NOT the woman I grew up with!”

Lol, Lisa is not alone. I got the same “just like you” speech… and yep, its true… in certain areas, lol.

I think I am in the “accepting” stages right now. I’m not the best woman I can be “right now” because I still have some healing to do, but I am in the process of getting that started. Luckily, Miss J is a little people person and she makes her own party… one of those march to her own drum kind of girls. She likes to be like me at times, but she is quite the little leader of the pack.

Did your mother ever tell you that one day she hopes you have a child who is JUST LIKE YOU? Well, mine did, and I got her…to the 10th power.

Kids do have a way of picking the most inopportune times to show everyone who they really are. And, unfortunately, the behaviors that tend to frustrate us the most are the ones that are all us…the parents.

I can’t wait for my baby girl to have a daughter who is JUST LIKE HER, smart mouth and all.

Writing in my journal helps me a lot. For me it’s like getting frustrations, worries, thoughts, etc. off of me and putting them in my journal. Once there outside of me and off of me, I can go into the world and try again.
