I know that this has been passed around the net a lot...but its so pretty....

Before I was a Mom:

I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom:

I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom:
I never held down a screaming child so doc tors could do tests. Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late h ours a t night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom:
 
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom:
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her ch ild.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom:

I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every
10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

JNez and Neke tagged me so I'm doing this for my friends.... (booooo, lol!)

here are the rules:

1. link the person who tagged you…

2. mention the rules in your blog…

3. tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours

4. tag 6 following bloggers by linking them

5. leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged

Here goes nothing:

• I cannot sleep with my bedroom door open, if it gets left open I will wake up and close it...regardless of what time it is
  
• I have a phobia about about animals getting sick...I freak myself out and will not ride when my dog is in the car because he MIGHT get motion sickness....same thing about people, if I think someone may be sick to the stomach...I work myself up to the point that I have to get away from them or I will get sick
  
• I hate clothes...I get undressed as soon as I walk in the house...if nobody is home, I don't put anything on unless I need to cook, then I only put on a xtra big tee shirt....my son hates it....he always tells me to put some clothes on
  
• I obsessed over doing this tag...I woke up and can't go back to sleep until its done...when I get something in my head I must get it done or I can't focus on anything else
  
• I can't sleep in complete silence if I am alone...I must have a radio or tv on
  
• I can't ride the bus without my headphones or a book....

Honestly, I don't like to tag anyone...so the buck stops here...

Peace!

Rays of the Sun

Am I ready
to live my life
on my own

Am I ready
to be the one
I've always been

Am I ready
to be free
to love me?

Am I ready
to see the world
to be my own girl

Am I ready?

Yes, I am

You may think I'm selfish
Sorry but I can't help it
Gotta do this for me
Please don't beg and plead
[Repeat 2X]

You don't understand it
Just can't comprehend
how I can just get up and leave
You think it's gone get better
Nothing lasts forever
Open up your eyes and see

That I'm just somewhere else
Don't need nobody to
validate me, I'm good
I wanna do just what I want
Whatever that may be
I'm solely focused on me

[Chorus]
You see, what I'm going through
Might seem selfish to you
But I've never tried it and I think that I'll like it
You see want I'm going through
Might seem selfish to you
But I've never tried it and I think that I'll like it, I do

You've got many folks who love you
No, you don't need me you're gonna be all right
I'm always here for you
Can do what we use to do
But soon someone will come along

As for me I just wanna be free to
Live life to the fullest extent
I've played my role and this chapter has closed
Now cause for new auditions

[Chorus]
[Repeat 2X]

I do(do), I do(do), I do(do), I do(do),
I do(do), I do(do), I do(do), I do(do)
I'm always (lovin too much)
And I'm always (learnin too much)
And I'm always (givin too much)
Givin too much of me
And I'm not (punishin you)
Or blaming you (blaming you)
what I gotta do (I gotta do)
For me
It's what I want (it's what I want)
It's what I need
Just let me be
I'm sorry if you think this is selfish

You see what I'm going through
Might seem selfish to you
But I've never tried it and I think that I like it, I do
What I'm going through
Might seem selfish to you
But I've never tried it and I think that I like it,
[Repeat 4X]

Yes I do, Yes I do
This might seem selfish
I do, I do I like it
This might seem selfish
You see want I'm going through
I know I like it

Kinda down today
Don't know why
Can't really say

I have everything I need
There's nothing I should want

Roof over my head
Shoes on my feet

I have a job
It pays the bills

So why do I feel
Like something is not real?

I'm treading water
Am I waiting for rescue?

I'm in a holding pattern
Am I ready for take-off?

Something in me is searching
For a missing piece

So I'm feelin kinda down today
Don't know why
Can't really say...
