Day after Mothers Day.....

     Okay so Happy Mothers Day to all of us wonderful, stressed out, and under appreciated mothers out there.  I hope you all enjoyed it and received plenty of cute little homemade gifts that your kid(s) made at school.  Being a single parent....that's about all I receive every mothers day.  I cannot wait until they're old enough to get a job and take me out to breakfast, lunch, or dinner!  OR for that matter....until I get married or have a significant other to help them pay for it!  LoL!  Don't get me wrong....the stuff they give me is cute and all, but when your 5 year old hands it to you on the Friday before and simply says..."Here Mom," it sort of takes the Awwwww Sweet feeling out of it all.   Seriously...I know I can't be the only parent that feels this way....right??? I just think I'll enjoy Mothers Day a little more when I my girls aren't so needy and I can actually go get some rest and relaxation without them tagging along.  So speaking of my girls(aka-gremlins, grits, account deplete-ers, I could go on).....let me tell you a little bit about them....as I'm sure I will be writing about them all the time.

First we have Jordan.  Jordan is my 12 yr old, soon to be 13 but acts like she's 23, daughter.  Jordan is great, except for the fact that she's a pre-teen/teenager.  She plays basketball, club volleyball, plays percussion in the symphonic band at school, a member of National Junior Honor Society(NJHS), and she's in a magnet academy at her school.  Sounds great right?!?!  WRONG!! Deep down I know she's a good kid but boy has she been testing me this year!!!   I promise I have almost put her out of the house at least 3 times this year.  Write down this note to self parents......the 7th grade is no joke!!  If you can remember, it was rough for all of us but I never once thought about how difficult it was on our parents until I had a 7th grader of my own this year.  WOW!!

Jordan really is a great kid and certainly more mature than most of the other 12 yr olds I know.  I hate to admit it, but she is almost like the other parent in the house at times.  She has always done very well at helping out with her sisters and I depend on her a lot.  So she really is great when she's not hormonal!!  LOL!

Next we have Amaia !!  Amaia is 8 and in the 2nd grade.  She truly is a miniature version of myself.  OMG!!  Lord help us all!!  She is the sweetest child out of my three girls, but she is a handful....as can be expected since again...she is a miniature version of myself.  Amaia has more energy that a room full of kindergarteners after having birthday cupcakes with buttercream icing!!  While her older sister, Jordan is the outstanding athlete, my little ball of energy has certainly shown that she will be better than big sis.  Yaaaaay Amaia!

And finally we have the little one that tries to run everyone in the house....Miss Kennedy! This is my 5 yr old that will be starting kindergarten in the fall.  I'll be honest with you all....I'm still trying to figure this child out.  She's too cute for words but please do not be fooled; Kennedy is no angel by any means.  She is also the prissy-est girl I have given birth to.....being the tom-boy that I am.....this is no picnic for me.  More to be posted on Kennedy because like I said...I'm still trying to figure her little personality out!  LOL!

So now that you have some very, very brief intros to the subjects of my blogs.....let me just say that I am starting to write these blogs because....well...I seem to have a lot of stuff to say.  I can rant and rave about issues on my kids to my love life(or lack thereof) to my friends getting on my nerves with crazy decisions to pet peeves....let's just say this has the possibility of being slightly entertaining.  :-) I really should have my own reality show but this blog will have to do.  Ha ha! 

So until my next blog.......

Peace, hearts, rainbows, and rockets,

Super Mom of 3
