WooooHoooo

Ever felt like climbing a tree or just running through a park goofing off with your kids...well I do and did today lol it was a blast...I know I am a tomboy and my little girl is half tomboy half girlie girl lol, and I encourage her on all side of the coin lol, although I must admit I have a hard time relating to wanting to be a cheerleader and all of that, I still support her and encourage her lol...

I love playing with Ashley, just laughing and giggling...running around with her and the dogs, never knowing which one will tackle me first, I love to rollar blade with her, even though she sometimes ties a pillow to her butt lol...me and Ashley are very different, and still the same, she believes strongly in all the things 10 year old little girls do, and I am amazed at her so often...shes amazingly smart and witty, when she was 3 she said my Grandma left her flabbergasted...I had to look up that word lol...she has been reading since she was a baby lol ok a toddler, she was 3 when she could read her own books, she blew everyone away, I even took her to my college class to read to everyone as a project I was doing on early childhood literature...it was a book called puppies for sale (I highly recommend it) and she brought them all to tears...

I love to play baseball and basketball with Ashley, niether of us are very good lol but we have fun anyways, I even play Barbies with her, lol she made her 2 barbies get into a fight and then sent them to the cornor till they could work it all out lol...

I love children, love teaching, I am simply stunned by the workings of little brains lol, I work mostly with special needs children and I love it, I want to go back to work so bad, I miss all my children so much...I have only one daughter, I used to imagine a housefull, but life changes on us, and Ashley is enough for me(if I ever got pregnant again though I would love it just as much, just so you know...but not planning on it lol)

I love being with my nieces and nephews, I just love being with kids...I was a great teacher, I hate that I am to sick to work right now, but I will teach again, I hear all these horror stories of teachers abusing children and it scares me, that someone could ever hurt someone so innocent...its just wrong...I tell you, there would be no safe place on this earth if anyone hurt my daughter, I would hunt them down...I am so not kidding...she is my world, my heart, my joy, she has made me who I am, she made me a mommy...I am so lucky to have her in my life, I pitty her dad for not knowing her...Ken loves her, he to is stunned by how smart she is, and how much she reads lol, she has over 2 thousand books and we are always buying her more...I have no problem going without so that she can have her books, she wants to be an author, she writes stories all the time, and even started a family news paper once a week, she is incredible...

I read a blog by a guy who used to be gay now is straight, has 2 kids and a wife...if hes happy so be it...but he wrote that he teaches his daughter to play with girl toys and to be femminin and his son to be masculin (homophobic you think) this is so sad, to define your childs life that way...let them play, and let your son play with a doll, great training on being a dad...read williams doll, or so many others, and let your daughter put on jeans and play football with her brother, it makes memories, climbing a tree after your older brother, scraping you knee on a skateboard, wrestling with your brother, your brother playing Barbies with you, house or school, its life...encourage a childs imagination, get over your self, they are your kids and I hope it all works out for you, but you know what they say about pretesting to much ;o)...lol have a good day all I am going to lay down with Ashley as she reads Harry Potter to me for the millionth time lol...night
