Things my daughters' have taught me....

I think the biggest thing I have learned from the girls is that nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is sacred. Not my make-up, not the bathroom, not my drink, not my food, sometimes not even sex. I swear, if I had listened to the people who said sex goes out the window when you have kids, we probably wouldn't have ONE child, let alone THREE!!!

Another thing is about poop. It really is just as nasty as vomit. There is not one single thing about a poopy diaper that is cute, and there never will be. I know that someday, these precious days will be a distant memory and I will forget so many things. But I will NEVER, EVER miss poopy diapers, period. The end.

One of my favorite things is that no matter what it is, it's always the coolest thing ever the first time around. Sometimes even the second or third times around. And Mommy rocks. All the time. They don't understand that I'm weird, or fat, or a total dork. They see this awesome mom that knows everything and can do anything and lets them do the funnest things. I like their mommy.

I think Diana is now the only one who sees Dustin like I see him. The way she just drinks him in, and everything he does is so awesome, and everything he says is so interesting. I love it all, and I find myself drinking her in and looking at him and just seeing him like that. Its amazing.

They have also taught me that I am not my mother. However much I resemble her, in word or deed, I am myself. Even when I'm crazy.

Someday, I hope they get to read this and they can know who I am when I write........
