For my Daughter

My Mothers Day

Well today was Mothers Day. I had a rough start to begin the day. This was the first year I was alone. Alone as in Single. Not married. No one to get me a card or buy me a present from my daughter. I was sad when I woke up this morning. I felt so alone. As the day progressed I had to get ready to go to a fish fry out at a lake we call Mesa Lake. I was busy. I had to clean my house, get my daughter and I ready, and make pasta salad to bring to the fish fry. I ended up running a little late. The day got a little better as it went along. Kelcie and I played and ran around and waded in the water. We ate till we couldn't eat anymore. I got to spend Mothers Day with my whole family.

I also got to celebrate for my Mother and also got to celebrate for her 50th birthday today. I wrote my mom a letter. I poured my heart into that letter and I think it was the best gift I could have ever given her. I love my mom with all my heart and I couldn't ask for a better mom. She's my Best Friend. I just hope I'm half the mom to Kelcie as she was to me. I love you mom. Happy Mothers Day.

This is my Kelcie ... and here's my story!

This is for all you parents out there because if you've got kids you probably know where i'm coming from. My daughter is 2 years old.. and I seem to have some difficulty keeping clothes on her. Just the other day I was cleaning my house and I heard a knock at the door. I had a friend answer it. It was my Arab bug guy. I was talking to him and then I looked over in my living room and my daughter was BUCK naked running in circles around him. I was so embarassed. I hurried up and got some clothes on her. But I tell you what. Not 10 minutes after he left I had to go outside for something and I looked in my big picture window and there was Kelcie.. Naked again... standing on the back of my couch waving at me. Standing there for the whole world to see. Let me tell ya.. I get alot of traffic down my road. I ran inside hurried up and threw her clothes on her after a 10 minute chase around the house. I contintued to clean my house and I heard my front door open. (I think this is prolly the best one yet) I peaked around the corner and my door was standing WIDE open. I looked outside and there she was again.. NAKED.. running in the front yard. So I yelled at her and took off running towards her. I guess she thought it was a game, because she started running faster and this time took off down the street... NO clothes on and in a full force sprint. I was laughing so hard I couldn't hardly run. I got a hold of her and threw her over my shoudler.. and hurried back inside. I sat her down and talked to her and she kept her clothes on for the rest of the day. But I've decided I'm gonna invest in some DUCT TAPE! Maybe then I won't have a little streaker running around to embarass her dear ole mom. But hey isn't that what kids are for. I remember all the times I embarassed my mom.. (BTW Sorry Mom for all the times I threw a fit in a store, cussed at church, contridicted you and told strangers things that they didn't need to hear.) Like my Mom always said to me. "I hope your kids treat you like you treat me" I think she might have jinx'd me!
