Dear Daughter.....

Have you ever wondered where your children get their attitudes? Do they really get them from us? No way! Growing up I was very shy and quiet. NO REALLY!! I WAS! Never spoke back to my dad...quite frankly, he scared the crap out of me! With Mom, well, I think I stomped my foot at her a couple times and "huffed" at her but still listened. She didn't really scare me, but I never wanted to disappoint her. Now I have two very head strong, stubborn, out spoken daughters. The oldest, well, she is just like me...sorry Kylee but you are. (Well they are both like me.) She is determined, head strong, independent BUT she knows how to use it appropriately. Marisa, well, she's a different story. Marisa is head strong, determined and independent BUUUUUUTTTTTT she does not use it appropriately. She is learning but OMG it has been a long process! And of course I love them both dearly and would not change their personalities in anyway. I wish I could go back and change some things in the past but you know, maybe not. The course we followed through life has brought us to where we are now. We needed those experiences to learn, to grow and make us into the people we are today. But then again, I may have changed at least two things in the past. (My girls know what they are and I do not have to explain.) Ok, now back to the statement "I was very shy and quiet". Truely, I was. Not until I met my husband and was working in the emergency medical field, did I get over that issue! Get over it quickly I did! There are still situations where I like to sit back and blend in with the wall but this is because I am taking in the situation and making a plan. Actually, I like to people watch....it can be quite entertaining!! To my youngest who thinks I am a dork....what would you do if I didn't give you something funny to discuss with your friends? To her boyfriend who thinks I don't like him and who described my previous pictures as a "Princess Stripper"...hmmmm, I cannot say what I want to. :-) To my oldest who thinks, well pretty much thinks I am a dork too....same comment I gave your sister. To my parents....I love you and thanks for all the support and I miss you Dad. To my husband.....I need more $$$$$$. Oh by the way girls, remember where we are suppose to go on vacation, so you better be nice to me!! (MARISA-YOU REALLY SHOULD BE DOING YOUR HOMEWORK INSTEAD OF READING MY BLOG WHILE YOU ARE IN ENGLISH...YOU TOO LUKE!)
