Growing OldER.

My mom's 50th birthday party is this Sunday, March 1st and I will be turning 25 on April 1st!
April fool's day!
...ha ha ha. I'm an April Fool (said with extreme sarcasim.)
You know, I feel old. I know 25 years old isn't "old" to anyone BUT Nevaeh, who believes turning 7 is old! But I feel older than 25. I swear in some other life I am an 80 year old, grumpy, lady wearing cheetah print sweaters with red lipstick on my teeth. FYI: I LOVE CHEETAH PRINT and I actually worry that I will never grow out of it. I feel sorry for you if I am still around at 80 and you are my friend :) I think becoming a mom at 18 has a lot to do with feeling older. When something like that happens you have no choice, but to grow up or do you? Some beg to differ. I was meant to be a Mommy. And as these special birthdays approach I would like to reflect on the success I have had in my 25 years. Everyone has different definitions of success and to me it's having the Family I have always wanted. "If you love what you are doing you will be successful." As kids we Imagine. Some kids pretend to be famous singers or doctors sometimes even presidents, but I've always wanted the simple things [which I never knew would be the hardest jobs I've ever loved doing] I wanted the house. The husband. The kids. I used to play with baby dolls and went grocery shopping and played house, as do all little girls but that's what I used to want badly. Now I feel RICH in having what I have. Who gets 2 perfect little girls who are each others best friends AND a perfect happy son to complete her? ME! Not only am I living MY life raising my kids showing them unconditional love as much as I can, but I have a husband who CARES and SHOWS he cares for us and who has the same hopes and dreams as me. We have a house. We have cars. We have food on the table [that's a given see my fat face], but we also work hard and play hard ALL FOR OUR FAMILY, that matters most! I look forward in celebrating my birthday with my friends and family on April 4th and I am planning a party for my mom this Sunday for her 50th Birthday Bash. She deserves it, she is such a good person. Well have a good rest of the week new pics soon :)
