my hearts

You know, as a mother you love your children but seem to bitch about them all the time.
I was just thinking today about my kids and how much I love them.

My eldest is the sweet girl, always wanting things at home to be just so.

Next is my eldest son, 16 years old and a bundle of piss and vinegar. He is reliable and dependable. He doesn't lie to me and I can't tell you how important it is to be able to trust your kids. He is such an awesome young man.

Then there is my third child, my second daughter, 14 years old and so photogenic she looks 25. I hope she has a veneer that is hard to break because she is going to need all her strength and self confidence to keep the wolves at bay. She is headstrong and so for the underdog and downtrodden and mistreated that she will lecture your ear off until you realllllly listen and help her sort through the turmoil she feels. Or you can just give a soapbox to preach from.

Lastly, is my fourth child, second born son. He is 12 years old, one of those techy type kids. A boy who wants to be a video game tester. He has had some issues this year and I hope he realizes sooner than later that lying is the worst thing. Once a liar, never to be trusted. He is so goofy and happy go lucky for the most part. He plays with his big brother (wrestles) constantly. They also play games on the computer and compete with each other. I love to see his smiling face when he gets home from school or when he gets up in the morning.

Each of my kids is special to me, as kids are to mothers. Today someone put on facebook that we are supposed to say all this mushy shit about our daughters, well I took it a step further and included my boys and only posted it here. I get pretty tired of the bullshit headlines that prove you love.
