What Momma Learned Today...

No matter how hard you try to put the past in the past. There are some people who just can't come into the future with you. They are desperate to hold on to the idea they had of you; no matter how false that idea was in the beginning. Because for some reason, that idea gave a sense of order to their view of the world. No matter how false it was or continues to be they will hold on to it. Why? I don't know for sure but perhaps it is because without that idea it may make the thoughts and deeds of the past and present even more criminal than they were in the first place. And, that would most assuredly be a shame.

As a mother, I am reliving what it is to become a part of a family as a little person. That was not an easy thing for me when I was young. In my family you had to fight for a little bit of notice. And, when one was noticed it wasn't always welcome attention.
My babygirl has a totally different experience. Everything new and precious about her experience is noticed. She is an essential part of our family. The question is not how to include her but how to share her.
What have I learned? I'm not the best at sharing.
My goal is to try and find a balance between sharing and maintaining that line between parent and friend. I'm the only momma she will ever have. Friends will come and go. But blackMomma is forever.

Tidying up is a slow process. Once you’ve cleaned one area you have to make a little time every day to maintain that area and then once a week choose a new area to conquer. Once you've decided to tend to a thing you can’t abandon it. Running away from a responsibility will guarantee trouble in the future.
Today I learned that if you can't move from a place; it is more constructive to clean the cabinets than to cry for a larger kitchen.
