Five Years Ago

Five years ago, yesterday I lost every semblance of the life I used to have. It will be thirteen years, at least, before I can do whatever I'd like to do.

But when my little Boo Boo looks at me with those big Hazel eyes and says "Mom - this was the best birthday in my whole life -- thank you" I just melt into a puddle of motherhood that I sometimes so much detest.

He ASKED for chocolate. Chocolate Cake. Chocolate Icing. He is a true chip off the ol' momma block. Makin' me proud.

P.S. that is a HOMEMADE "Southern Chocolate Sheet cake" damn-it! No box cakes here sista!!

oh my GAWD. what a sweet face. "this is is my best birthday in my whole life" -- how many does he even remember?! still. the sweetness. my goodness.

Well you know what I am not married, but I am talking to a 35 yr. old man who is very serious about it, and me too, but I just want to live life and enjoy myself for ahwile. I'm embarrased to tell the age, 22. Will be 23 in Sept. Your boy looks so happy, but I know so many tell me not to get married, not to have kids etc. I know for sure I would have to get used to the marriage life, and I'm not even married (haha).

I sometimes detest motherhood too. I hate to admit it because I am a brand new mom, and all of my dreams of motherhood have come true, nonetheless I feel I've lost my old carefree self.

By the way, the cake looks scrumptious and your boy is adorable!
hooray for motherhood!!!!!!
