I've always said that the day I found out that I was pregnant with Tylerr was the day I grew up. I was 23 when I found out I was pregnant, not married and scared shittless to tell my parents. Yes, 23...not 16.
a very short 4 months later I was married and soon going to deliver a baby. The most beautiful baby that I had ever seen, ok...not really. She looked like a hairy Indian baby! I'm sure most people that knew me thought that I'd be a mess of a mom. I mean I'm not perfect, but I never really liked kids or even babies. So even if they did think that, I was putting money on it too.
This amazingly innocent, smart child teaches me things about my self daily.
Its ok to cry.
Its ok to fail, as long as you learn.
Saying your sorry is the best medicine for friendships and family even if they refuse to hear it.
Its ok to be aggressive.
Be yourself, people don't like fake.
Jesus loves us.
Hugs heal.
Mistakes happen.
Honest is the best policy.
Today Tylerr told me a story about how she gave a girl a hug at school because she fell. I told her that she was being a good friend and that it was the right thing to do. I asked her "where did you get so smart", her answer was...."you taught me".
I'm hoping that I can prove some of those people wrong that doubted me 7 years ago. Today I proved myself wrong. Thank you Tylerr.

Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012
I don't think I'm in love with the word RESOLUTIONS. Its to permanent. Makes me feel like what ever resolution I made for the year, that I failed somehow if it never worked. I mean I still don't have fake boobs.....that's 5 years of resolutions that I feel disappointed about.
2011 taught me alot about myself in the social arena. If you are reading this and spent any time with me you will nod the whole way through. I'm a social butterfly that tends to make a statement with what I say, but also has bad timing. I make friends easily but very cautious when I do. I have an overwhelming opinion that most like to hear. What I learned is, most of the people I met in 2011 like all these things about me till it doesn't fit or makes THEM uncmfortable. If you once laughed at a joke, you cant look back in a week and down me for saying something. If you laughed....you are just as guilty! You know you cant have a half ass friend in me. You cant ask me not social in a social time, you cant ask for an opinion but not like what I say, and please dont be my friend only when its convenient.
2011 taught me how to be a better mom. I see some kids that spend only 4 hours in the evening with thier parents. Kids that dont have the chance to go and play with friends. Disrepectful kids that dont listen or call thier parents names. I'm lucky enough and will now not take for granted that I get to spend all day or after school with my kids. I'm more open for playdates and take onmore of my kids activities. I see my kids around other adults and I'm very proud of how they handle themselves and treat others.
2011 taught me that even though I needed to change a little for myself, that is just it....its for me!
in 2012 we are going to see changes, not resolutions. Although boobies would be nice! Change in how I handle people that want to call me a "freind" but only when its convient. Change how much time I spend with my kids. Change the time I spend with people that I want to call friends. What I'm not going to do is change your thought about me. This is who I am!
So before this starts sounding to much like Obama's re-election campain. Let me leave you with this amazing picture I found on Pintrest.

Dear Birk Girls....lessons part 1
If I can teach you one thing that will help you all lead a great childhood and adulthood, I choose the following: Be yourself! Whatever that means for each one of you. and do it with honor and never let anyone change that!
People will often want you to change you to fit their life, influence you to do things that you often wouldn't do. Even as an adult. They may use you to better themselves or need something from you. These people my sweet girls....are NOT your friend!
Just remember your real friends believe in you, help you when you are down, laugh with you, sometimes at you , and never ever will the compete with you....unless its a board game!
Sadly through your whole life friends will come and go. The ones that stay are the ones that deserve YOU! and you deserve them!
Be yourself!!!
if you are loud, crazy, sensitive, smart, outgoing, poetic, or even......a democrat....(gasp)...... do it with Honor.

5 Signs you are headed for a break up
I recently read an article in SELF magazine titled "5 Signs you are are headed for a break up". I even thought as I read this article...."what the hell and I doing reading this shit"? It was pathetic....I feel sorry for the girl that read this article and thinks that she has now seen the light, and now...this very minute in time, realizes that her relationship is headed down the shitter.
Let me break it down for you.
1. You don't have anything to talk about...explanation: the man that you love is thinking about the big boobed tiny wasted bitch that he just met, hence he cant do two things at once.
2. He doesn't care about the people that are important to you....explanation: If he is this big of a douche bag he never cared, its just easier for him to show it now.
3. He is suddenly a workaholic....explanation....work = crazy new girl sex
4. You only seem to hang out in groups....explanation.....he introduces you to his friends new girlfriend, whom he happens to sneak in the bathroom at random times through the night together.
5. He doesn't support you...explanation.....He just bought big boobies, more big boobies!....and he could care les if you are crying again for the 4th time this week.
Seriously....if this is you...run, don't walk. You deserve way better!

OMG...OMG....OMG
It cant be...another celebrity couple is divorcing??! First of all, I'd divorce both of them for wearing those stupid fucking glasses!
That person (Part2)
I have recently celebrated my 31st birthday. I think I always knew that turning 30 would do something dramatic to me. I thought something about my looks (secretly hoping for some boobs!). But instead I found out more about people in my life. Mostly my so called friends.
I realized that I was that girl that cant stand people. I mean I always knew that people irritated the shit out of me, but REALLY cant stand them. I believe I got this from my dad. The Cant stand-stop the bullshit-annoying- people that you meet. I learned to peel these leaches off my "friends list" and move on with life.
Most will find this mean and insensitive. I personally think that I am no willing to let crappy people be involved in my life.
Something that I have never understood....the people with 564 friends on their list...really? you talk/care about that many people?

That person?..... (part1)
After a super busy day I took a few minutes to rock Linkin to bed sing her a song....a song not a lullaby. She likes Taylor Swift. I laid her to bed and instantly tears ran down my face. It hit me that in a few short hours she will be a one year old, still a baby, but One. Then I realized I have become one of those ladies that I didn't EVER think I would be. A big Sap that cries about all stages of her children's lives.
You know one or a couple, might even be one yourself.
Its the lady that cries when her daughter enters their first dance class.
The mom that tears up when her son hits his first home run.
The parents that are photo freaks and cry as there child enters preschool.
Even the woman that wipes a couple of drops from her eye that just witnesses her kid riding a bike for the first time.
Although these are precious moments, you most likely wont fine me hiding my tears under my sunglasses with these times in my kids lives. At least I didn't think I was that person.
This week will mark the end to a couple of things. I'm just trying to keep it all together. As my dear friend Alyssa face booked me today "The future holds alot more great adventures" this is what I have to look forward to. Thank you Alyssa.....those are the words I needed to see.
