I DO NOT EASILY CONFORM, I DON'T TRY TO FIT IN....I WAS BORN TO STAND OUT!

About Me


Like so many women,
I am left to raise my children alone.
It takes a strong woman to be a single Mom, she has to be every family member to her children.
Some days I don't think I am strong enough....
Each day is filled with worry and fear...
uncertain of how I will manage on my own,
raising, nurturing, instilling good moral and "family" values
and providing for them.
At the end of each day I thank God I made it through
and for blessing me with my children.
They fill my heart with their sweet love
and my world with joy.

My little stooge
These are my little miracles and truly the loves of my life. How can such tiny little fingers wrap completely around my heart?! They have taught me a lot about life and myself. I am a better person because of them. Patience (but not without some frustrations) has been the hardest lesson learned and I don't think, as a parent, you ever stop learning how to balance the yin and yang on the patient/impatient scale. As they grow you are challenged even more.
Someone said "Insanity is inherited,
we inherit it from our children"
Though I could not love my children more
I sometimes believe that.
About Me
I'm not a bitch by nature but push me and I can be.
I am easily content, the smallest of gestures sometimes put the biggest smiles on my face. I like to go out from time to time (haa haa, made myself laugh) but am most happy sharing a quiet evening at home, watching a good movie.
I prefer to cook at home, give me someone to cook for and I am happy. I like attention but not being smothered. I like to be persued and wooed with the little elements of surprise. Dazzle me and keep me in awe wanting to know you more--not too much as I will tire but not so little that I bore. When I happen to have some quiet time throughout the day, I enjoy kicking back and soaking up R&B.
Thanks for taking the time to read and get to know a little about me.

** Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet that person, we will know how to be grateful. **
True love stories never have endings...
Faith ..
When you come to the end of all the light you know
and you are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown,
faith is knowing one of two things will happen:
there will be something solid to stand on
or you will be taught how to fly.

~Avril Lavigne~

"I do say things that I think will shock people. But I don't do things to shock people. I'm not trying to be the next Tupac, but I don't know how long I'm going to be on this planet. So while I'm here, I might as well make the most of it."

"You can't stop loving or wanting to love because when its right, it's the best thing in the world. When you're in a relationship and it's good, even if nothing else in your life is right, you feel like your whole world is complete."

A Few Of My Favorite
Famous Quotes

The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.
Pierre Teilhard De Chardin
I really can't deny it, I am who I am. I'm pretty normal. I'm not that smooth type of girl. I run into things, I trip, I spill food. I say stupid things... I really don't have it all together.
Katie Holmes
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
Big girls need big diamonds.
Elizabeth Taylor
Every girl should use what Mother Nature gave her before Father Time takes it away.
Dr. Laurence J. Peter
Show me a woman who doesn't feel guilt and I'll show you a man.
Erica Jong
When women go wrong, men go right after them.
Mae West
God made woman beautiful and foolish; beautiful, that man might love her; and foolish, that she might love him.
Men aren't necessities, they're luxuries.
Cher
Good humor is the health of the soul, sadness is its poison.
Lord Chesterfield
For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
John Greenleaf Whittier
The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.
W. M. Lewis
The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them.
Albert Einstein

Books:

If you are looking for
that great body first,
you may never find
your life-mate.
If you love first,
you will probably find
the body you are with
to be highly arousing.

Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the **** out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

My Children.
Because of them I strive to be the very best I can be
Here is a little part of a wonderful email I received (thanks Don, I needed it)
~ The Cost Of Raising A Child ~
For the cost of raising a child you receive:
* Glimpses of God every day.
* Giggles under the covers every night.
* More love than your heart can hold.
* Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs.
* Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.
* A hand to hold, usually covered with jelly or chocolate.
* A partner for blowing bubbles, flying kites
* Someone to laugh yourself silly with, no matter what the boss said or how your stocks performed that day.
You get to:
* finger-paint,
* carve pumpkins,
* play hide-and-seek,
* catch lightning bugs, and
* never stop believing in Santa Claus.
You have an excuse to:
* keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh,
* watching Saturday morning cartoons,
* going to Disney movies, and
* wishing on stars.
You get a front row seat to history to witness the:
* first step,
* first word,
* first bra,
* first date, and
* first time behind the wheel.
In the eyes of a child, you rank right up t here under God. You have all the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground them forever, and love them without limits, so that one day they will, like you, love without counting the cost.
