Queen Bee

I have yet to mention that I have three boys. And at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I am the PROUD mother of three boys. They truly teach me something every day. This summer has been ONE LONG LESSON!

One thing I have learned this summer is that they are growing up. They are maturing before my eyes and I am not sure I like it. I never thought being a parent would be this one big conflicting experience. There are times where I need them to grow up and do their own thing and not be so dependent and there are other times when I need them to be my little boys.

It's this relationship of codependency that I didn't expect. I need them just as much as they need me. They need me for the obvious reasons, feeding, clothing, guiding etc. But I need them just as much to teach me things I didn't know about myself.

I have learned with my kids that I have no patience. I don't like patience. I need stuff done right away and I need people to understand me right away and I don't have patience for anyone who doesn't understand the "RIGHT AWAY" part. Yes it's official, I have flaws.

I am not sure what the lesson is exactly but something tells me PATIENCE may be a key word.

P.S: Potty training and patience are supposed to go hand-in-hand (??)

This is how I roll....

So for years of reading other people's blogs, some good and some REALLY amazing, I have always had a secret desire to write my own. For a while I wasn't sure what I wanted to write about or even if anyone would be interested to read what I wrote. So I thought some more and then some more. And I reached the conclusion "either do it or don't...stop THINKING about it". You will notice that is usually the way I make major decisions in life...

So here goes, here is my first blog entry! I would give you a preview of the things I want this blog to be about but I can't! I have been trying to come up with a single theme but of all the topics that I would love to share with everyone, the one commonality between them all, is me!

So here you will find my latest fashion find at the mall or online, my favourite new blog post by someone I enjoy a lot, being a mother and/or general rants and rave about what is bugging me today!

I hope to hear from you all. I would like to think that we can keep it civil in here without cussing or vodoo-dolling each other but hey...if that's how you roll, then so be it!

This is how I roll!
