One Mother's View

Everyday I am bombarded with half-truths, myths, propaganda and out right lies. I diligently work to educate my children on what is real, what is based in fact and what is based only on fear. I wish my children and all people to THINK for themselves and be willing to fight the status quo. Just because something is a popular belief does not make it CORRECT. This is my safe place to document my thoughts for them... and for anyone who wishes to read along.

Venting

Kids,

I have not been out here in quite a while. I have let life and time get in the way of putting down my thoughts.

We have all been sick off and on since before Thanksgiving. I am so done with being sick!

I am at my wits end with Robert still.
I so want him to be an easier child for me, he seems to challenge me at every turn.

I am heart broken over the fact that I can not "encourage" him to be the child, the student, the human I hope him to be. I KNOW that he is going to grow up into something wonderful, something magical! He is going to do great things. He is a child with such potential, such ability... I just have to help him focus his energies, focus his goals, his dreams, his hopes, his desires.
He will become all he is meant to be.

In spite of me and not because of me I know.

It is my weakness as a mother and a teacher that are in question here.
I do not want to fail him. I want to challenge him, inspire him, encourage him and motivate him to grow into who eve he is meant to be. I want to be a part, even a small part of what makes him what he is to be!

Abigail my little girlie, you challenge me in your own ways. You are brilliant, talented and magical. You have a spark in you that shines brighter everyday and you refuse to be silent. I fell like my job with you is to do my best to stay out of the way of your learning. You are set to go off like a rocket into the stratosphere.

Casey, college and work are your current challenges. I see your desire to be independent, on your own, your own man as it where. I also see you struggling with money and time issues... such is life my son, it is always one or the other. You have become quite a wonderful person Casey, your smart, loving and thoughtful. I like who you are as much as I love you. You are proof that children grow into the adults they are meant to be in spite of their parents not because of them.

I am in awe of you my children. All of you amazing, beautiful and smart beyond your years.

I am grateful for each and everyone of you. I am grateful to be your mother. I am grateful that I have been here to watch you grow, learn and change first hand.

As always I love you,

Mama
