Things I learned about myself through my children

I love the rain. Whenever it rains, Abby can't wait to stand in it. At first I thought she was nuts, but now I know she gets it from me. When we first moved here, Abby and her Papa went to Home Depot to get some things for the house. While they were in the store, it started to rain outside. They had to run from the store to the truck and of course got wet in the process. She still remembers this day as vividly as when it happened.

I, along with my 3 other peeps, quote movies entirely too much. Our family dialogue sounds like a montage of different movies. Some adult movies and a lot of kids movies.

My friends say I talk funny. Sometimes, I am speaking normally and sometimes I really do speak another language.

I'm not a good friend. I haven't really had many friends in my life so I guess I don't know how to be one. Abby has so many friends and she is just 2, but then again she usually pushes her friends around or breaks her toys when she gets together with her friends.

I have numerous pet peeves. Too many to write here.

I don't appreciate things or people like I should. When people offer to help me, I usually decline because of selfish reasons. Most of the time, its because I usually don't finish a task completely before moving on to the next one. I think I have a touch of ADHD.

I'm not good at sharing, and as a result I have a hard time teaching this to my children. When Abby was first born, I didn't want anyone else to watch her besides daycare and me. If I couldn't be with her, I surely didn't want anyone else to be with her.

I feel overwhelmed sometimes just being alive. Does that make sense?? I started reading "The Purpose Driven Life" and I just don't get it. Am I the only one??? I thought that the book was supposed to answer questions for us not give us more.

Anyway, this is a really weird post but I feel really weird right now.

Doucet, out!!!! (From the movie, "Meet the Fockers!!!") (I love Ben Stiller!!)
