Today I want to talk about the things that I know about myself. My mind is sometimes a vast universe and I learn new things about me everyday. Here are some things I know.
First- I am a Damn good mother. Say what you want about the way I think, or the things I say- but the fact is- my children are cared for, clothed, housed, fed, groomed, and above all LOVED. I would give my life right this second for any of them. And they know it. I tell them everyday that they are loved more than anything in this world, and that they can grow up to be anything they want to be.
Second- I am becoming a pretty good roll model for my children. I am showing them that with a little hard work they can go to school, work and make their dreams come true. I am also showing all the mothers of children who have 'disabilities' that they can make a difference just by being there and spending a little extra time helping their children with their difficulties. Trystan has ADHD and that will NEVER stop him from becoming anything he wants to be because he knows I am there to help him every step of the way.
Third- I am a DAMN good wife. If you have ever read Jamie's blog- link to the side- you know he has some issues that would make a normal woman run in fear and frustration. I am SUPER wife. I deal with those things and we are perfectly happy. I'm also VERY protective of him. He was mistreated as a child and teenager, I will not allow anyone to EVER hurt him again.
Fourth I know my attributes.
I am a hard worker when I am working on something that I like. School and my current job are two examples. If there is a payoff to what I am doing- it deserves nothing but my best effort. No half assed attempts are going to happen. Either I do it right myself, or I find someone to help me get it right. My company is paying me to do a job- that job is going to get done- that scale has to stay level.
I am good at things I like doing. Designing web pages, putting things together, anything electronic, listening to people, and tinkering on cars. I don't know if I like them because I'm good at them or if I'm good at them because I like them.
I am not afraid to say I don't know, or that I need help with something. I'm not perfect- no one is. But if we get together and I know a little bit, and you know a little bit- pretty soon we know a lot. And if we don't know- we can figure it out together. Don't sweat it- someone will know.
If at all possible I believe we should help anyone who needs it with anything they need. If you have the capability to help someone in need and you just stand by and don't that is HORRIBLE. How dare you! You should be ashamed. What kind of an example is that for people who look up to you? If I have it and you need it, you will have it. End of story.
