I'd been in a bad mood for a good portion of the day today due to still dwelling on what things my MIL said, but by the time Matt went to school I had chilled out and sat at the kitchen table with Stella as she painted. She is very precise about what she does and really concentrates until which time she decides it's all over. In the span of about 20 minutes she completed 4 wonderful paintings. One of which she proclaimed was her brother. And, to top it off, I died when she told me that she used every color in her palette because she doesn't know what color he'll be when he comes out. Made me laugh out loud. Here are her masterpieces. We even had time to play a round of Candy Land.
Hmm, here's what I think about myself. I'm a very hardworking mother of one very cool daughter and one very cool little boy on the way, due January 2, 2009. I work very, VERY hard at what I do to help support my family and sometimes it's probably almost too much, but these days, a woman does what she has to. I expect more of myself than I expect of anyone else and so I am kind of a control freak because if I want it done right, I must do it myself. I love my family and would give them anything they needed, sometimes to my own detriment. I definitely give too much to my job. What I assume others think about me is not quite known, but what I hope is that they see someone who is kind, creative, a good listener and good for conversation. I have aspirations for my life that now sort of feel like dreams because well, as you get older, life simply gets in the way, however, you must never forget these dreams because I believe it is then that who you are dies and you are then lost forever.
