Mommy in Training

Even as young children, girls have a nurturing instinct in them that makes them great moms from the start. Even if there are no baby dolls or teddy bears to push around in that stroller we could always find something. We will be a mommy to anything..crayons, blocks, maybe even the television remote.
I've made it to twenty without missing a beat.


I get to watch little people all day and its the best ever.
I eat dino nuggets and drink chocolate milk, pirates booty and 'nilla waffers.
I ride bikes and build legos.
I have dance parties to Recess Monkey and Raffi.
I play tag and hide n seek.
I do experiments and create wonders out of construction paper and glue.
I spray shaving cream all over the windows and draw pictures with my fingers.
I go to all the coolest movies and museums.
I escape to different parts of the world in the Magic Fort.
I play dress up and board games.
I watch disney channel and I love it.

But better yet..

I get to cuddle close are read stories deep into the night.
Hold little fingers and wipe snotty noses.
Get silly nicknames like nu nu and feather.
See imagination at its peak.
Get trampled by hugs at running speed.
See smiles and excitement when i walk through the door.


I have the best job ever.
Mommy in training.

Spit it out

Through writing I learn patience. I have so much to say and I need to write it but I, unlike others, cannot write and go back and rewrite it with the same heart and make it better. I need to write, revise, edit, correct and finalize it in one process. I am halted at clicking my pen thoughtfully and cannot move further. So I won't write. But when will I learn to move in steps instead of feeling the need to complete everything at once.

-maybe this is writers block. -frustrating
