Are you a mean mom? I sure am!

Mean Moms
Someday when my children are old enough to
understand the logic that motivates a parent, I will
tell them, as my Mean Mom told me: I loved you
enough . . . to ask where you were going, with whom,
and what time you would be home.

I loved you enough to be silent and let you
discover that your new best friend was a creep.

I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours
while you cleaned your room, a job that should have taken 15 minutes.
I loved you enough to let you see anger,
disappointment, and tears in my eyes. Children must
learn that their parents aren't perfect.

I loved you enough to let you assume the
responsibility for your actions even when the
penalties were so harsh they almost broke my heart.

But most of all, I loved you enough . . . to say
NO when I knew you would hate me for it.

Those were the most difficult battles of all. I'm
glad I won them, because in the end you won, too.
And someday when your children are old enough to
understand the logic that motivates parents, you will tell them.

Was your Mom mean? I know mine was. We had the
meanest mother in the whole world! While other kids
ate candy for breakfast, we had to have cereal, eggs, and toast.
When others had a Pepsi and a Twinkie for lunch, we had to eat sandwiches.
And you can guess our mother fixed us a dinner that was
different from what other kids had, too.

Mother insisted on knowing where we were at all
times. You'd think we were convicts in a prison. She
had to know who our friends were, and what we were
doing with them. She insisted that if we said we
would be gone for an hour, we would be gone for an hour or less.

We were ashamed to admit it, but she had the nerve
to break the Child Labor Laws by making us work We
had to wash the dishes, make the beds, learn to
cook, vacuum the floor, do laundry, empty the trash
and all sorts of cruel jobs. I think she would lie
awake at night thinking of more things for us to do.

She always insisted on us telling the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth. By the time
we were teenagers, she could read our minds and had
eyes in the back of her head. Then, life was really tough!

Mother wouldn't let our friends just honk the horn
when they drove up. They had to come up to the door
so she could meet them. While everyone else could
date when they were 12 or 13, we had to wait until we were 16..
l
Now that we have left home, we are all educated,
honest adults. We are doing our best to be mean
parents just like mom was.

I think that is what's wrong with the world today.
It just doesn't have enough mean moms!


PASS THIS ON TO ALL THE MEAN MOTHERS YOU KNOW.
(And Their Kids!!!)

Just 100 days to-go......

Okay so at 8:45 yesterday morning I had my 2nd ultrasound ...because at my gender u/s baby was too low and a week behind...

Well I still have Placenta Previa ... they like the Placenta to be 2.0 cm away from the cervix before they will even consider a vaginal delivery. last time mine was 2.3cm .... this time it was 1.7cm!
She said that my placenta is not covering the cervix but its right there...

So on the 26th of March at 9:30 am I have an appointment with the the maternal fetal medicine specialist, he will give me a 3d/4d u/s and he will give his opinion on placenta previa and my likely hood of delivering vaginally.... If he agrees with my OB they will do an Amniocentesis, to determine lung maturity ... If all is well with that than Jace will be born around 37 weeks gestation, thats around May 25th... probably no sooner than that, and he will be born by C- Section.

On a lighter note at my last u/s my OB said that Jace was a week behind .. well 8 days behind .. So this time around guess what lol my uterus grew 5 inches!!! FIVE! and I grew one inch around and HE went from the 14th % to the 35% hehehe .... NOT ONLY THAT! but I GAINED 7 POUNDS IN 4 WEEKS!!! SEVEN! lol

I think the warm weather is here!!

It has been 72 for the last three days and 65 all week before that!!! I hope Im not getting my hopes up! but I really enjoy being able to go to the park everyday with Lilly and going on walks! ooo maybe today we will walk all the way down to see the pigs they have in a pin not tooo far from here! how exciting!

Here are some pictures of Lilly at the park AGAIN lol I love it!
