motherhood

Being a mom is the most tiresome, underpaid, overworked thankless yet rewarding job I have ever had in my life! I remember when I was 21 and expecting my first son. I was scared to death of the responsibility of taking care of someone else. When he was born I was afraid to go home from the hospital with him. I just knew I was gonna break him or hurt him somehow, but I didn't.
When my 2nd baby was born only 22months later and had to stay in the hospital I cried because I came home empty handed. My journey in motherhood has taken me thru NICU visits, sitting up countless nights doing albuterol treatments, fevers, stomach bugs, strange rashes and surgeries(my youngest was born with extra appendages). I wouldn't trade any of those experiences for nothing in this world.
Everytime I look at my boys I get overwhelmed by how much I love them. I'm amazed everyday by the little people they are becoming with their own likes dislikes and cute personalities. Motherhood is a gift and I hope to experience it atleast once more

Just A Thought

I see so many women try to trap men with babies. For some reason they think that bringing a child into an already shaky situation will make it better. In essence what they are doing is bringing an innocent bystander in the situation. A lot of times if the guy was raised right he will marry the chick because he wants to do the "right thing" by her. Me personally,I would wanna know he is with me because this is where he wants to be and not because he feels he is obligated to fulfill some duty. This is one reason why there are so many African American children being raised in broken homes.

I personally would like to be married before I have anymore babies so I'm taking every precaution to prevent an unwanted pregnancy at this point. Being a single mom is really hard and I get real pissed off when I see chicks doing this on purpose.
