Happy Mother's Day

I just wanted to wish all of you MOM's out there a wonderful Mother's Day!! I thought I always had a lot of appreciation for my mom, but now that I am a mom especially, to a 2 year old, I have a new found RESPECT for my mother. My mom has always said "I hope you have a daughter just like you"..well guess what everyone Tara is JUST LIKE ME. For the most part that's a GOOD thing, except the bad traits that I also passed along..the TEMPER and the WHINING. This little girl really knows how to throw a TANTRUM!! I know what most of you are thinking Tara have a TEMPER?..that can't be, she is so shy and timid, well guess what she has fooled you! As soon as we walk through the doors at home, or often times getting into her carseat, Tara lets her true self SHINE!! When Tara wants something, a.k.a the BINKI, she wants it right then and there no if's, and's, or but's about it. And let me tell you there is no reasoning with this 2 year old little girl. So most of you are thinking well that's just how 2 year old's are and that she will eventually grow out of it..well if she is anything like her MOM she probably won't. Sure, as I grew older and wiser and maturity had set in I learned how to control my actions and behavior, but I am sad to say that every once in a while my inner 2 year self will slip out. When Tara does have her moments there are times, in between the frustration, that I will step back with a SMILE on my face because I remember acting EXACTLY the same way..Mother like daughter!! So here is to my STRONG and WISE mother, I'm GREATFUL and SORRY for all the years of frustration that you had to endure dealing with my 2 year old self!! LOVE ya lots MOM!!

P.S. Through all of this grumpling I want everyone to know that even though my little girl has her moments she is and always will be my little SUNSHINE. She really has brought so mcuh meaning to my life. LOVE ya, Wootsie Woo Woo
