To The Mom With Long Hair

To the mom with the long hair, leave it long. If length is your style don't change. If the kids think that you have a built in rope swing let them. They'll only pull on it for awhile. It will pass. Do not let go of the beauty that you desire. Being a mom doesn't mean that you can not BE YOU TIFUL. It means that you express yourself through your children. Alot of the times moms lose their identity to the demanding life of caring for their babies. Having kids and becoming mothers does not mean that you have to lose who you are. It means that you embrace the aspects that you love about yourself. Maybe your a class clown and funny as hell. Embrace it, strengthen it and leave the impression on your kids. Do not change who you are to fit the uptight mom stigma.

I've been asked continually, why with three kids, do I have my hair long? Why do I desire to grow it to my butt. I'll tell you, because my kids are not me. Yes, I've adopted the awesome roll of being Mama to three amazingly different boys but I don't have to give up who I am for them. We all know that life is an unexpected hassle but just because you have a babe or babes does NOT LIMIT you to a life secluded and standard. You can be the mom that stands out. The mom that isn't afraid to act her age. Sure having kids is a great way to mature but you do not have to claim that maturity 24/7. The is a line between strict and relaxed.

The stigma that runs along side being a mom is a downgrade to the word mom, The definition of mom is "One's mother" "Give birth to" or "One that cares for a child" Really? As moms are we really secluded to "Given birth to" How about "The fiercely strong woman who would give her life for the kids that she nurtured from womb to life" I'm sorry but we need more praise than that. I believe that the mom stigma ties in with the female notion that we are weak? One question for all, How are we weak when we are given so much strength to bring life into this world, to give up the lives that we knew to be a helpless babies world, because they could not survive without us, being a mom is rewarding, gruesome and underappreciated.

So I say again, to the MOM with long hair, don't change because the wotld wants you to. Don't cut your long hair to please others. Sure the pulling hurts, but not being you, for your babies breaks you down. Don't do it. Stay strong and let you. Be YOU.

Thanks, Maddie

The Things We May Never Know. Curiosity.

I know curiosity has killed the cat over and over. Maybe, even longer than 9 times. But, our curiosity seems to never fade. As humans we always find things to oogle over. The things that make us question what is acceptable. Its actually quite funny. The big picture, I mean. How we stop and stare and ponder over the things we may never fully know about. There's a lot isn't there? We may stop and question things we desire the answers too. What about the questions that do not have answers the ones that leave open ended responses to be filled with the imaginative curiosity. Those my friends are the ones to ponder over. We typically assume that every question has an answer, but do they? Do they have to? and (Every so popularly) Why? Like you, I'm not sure of that. Not all questions have answers just like not all actions come with reason. Some times the things we don't understand happen out of circumstance with no reason or meaning. They just do. I know that ...

Just A Stay At Home?

I know what you guys are thinking! oh no she's not actually doing it. Shocker, Yes, I'm writing about being a mom. To even it out a stay at home parent. Haha. Did I catch you there, this isn't just to you females that don't break even for that 24/7 job that pays zero. I have to give attention where attention is due because a stay at home Dad?.. Yeah, that a thing too. Props to you daddies that do it! Alot of the time, well lets face it ALL of the time stay at home parents are underestimated and taken for granted because Hello, What do they do all day? Do you really want to know? The list is comprised of over 5,000 things. Oh yes, not an exaggeration either. There are the chores of the house, the dealings with the child/children. We all know how demanding they are. You can't go two seconds without being sucked back to a child's needs. When they start to crawl even walk. The Race is on, the great escape more like it. Once they can walk, they will be running fro...

Whispers To You

Shh. Do you hear that? Make sure you are listening in close, I'm only going to repeat this once. I'm saying this hushed now because its a secret and I only want you to know. Do you know why? Because you are the person I hold close, the one that I want to share things with. I know you won't tell a soul because if you did, you would betray my trust and once its gone you cannot get it back. Did you get it? Did you hear my message clearly. Please nod if you understand. I have a fear that what I say might scare you away. I only want to be honest with you. Know that my intentions are pure . I only mean to make you see, to understand the voices in my head. The ones that scream at me, I know that you cannot physically hear them but I would like for you to know what they say. The dark things they tell me to do. The desperation in their voices when I fight back. Its consuming me. Please don't turn away, like I'm a freak, I'm only human and I cannot help...

Life in a NutShell.
