Becoming Mom
I have decided to change the whole focus and idea of this blog. Originally, the idea was that I would start this blog with all of my "Mom" friends and we could all contribute ideas and experiences. Since that concept has not evolved, I have changed course. I told James the other day that I had decided to keep writing this blog for the sake of my own children. Someday, I would like to give them a book of this blog's contents. I would love to know of the processes that my own Mother went through as she "became Mom." I always picture her as she is now, with all of her wonderful characteristics and habits in tact. Someday I would like my children to look at me that way. However, I would like for them to read about the times when I fell short! I want them to know how difficult it was for me to develop the habits and character traits that I hope to possess in the distant future. I hope that they can learn from my mistakes and hopefully from some of the things I do right as well: a guide book to Motherhood if you will. So, if you continue to read, this is about to get a little more personal. I am comfortable with that.

Dear Nicole,
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this blog for awhile because of the unfortunate accident that left your links at the bottom of the page on your other blog. I will now bookmark it because I LOVE THIS BLOG!! I could just cut and paste everything you say and place it on a blog of my own. Especially the inevitable entry! Also, the getting up to an alarm entry struck a nerve. I have been fighting getting up to an alarm like the plague - but why? What could be worse than getting up the way I do now? And staying in bed those "extra" 15-30 minutes doesn't make me feel rested anyway... so if I am tired anyway, I might as well get some of my power back, right? I may convert to that idea soon - I will let you know! Thank you for the artwork too! I love that picture of the tortured/tired mom over the crib -- I soooo feel that way sometimes! It gives me a good laugh,good solutions, and hope to know I can try my best and yet am not alone when things go to pieces! Thanks again!!
love, Kathy :)
Sounds good, I enjoy reading. I didn't know that we were able to contribute our own "Mom" ideas and experiences, except just in comments I guess? I'll keep reading though......
