Being an only child has its ups and downs, you for the most part get everything, all the love and the hugs and kisses and for the most part you "catch" everything, all the grief , the bad days, the only one that colored on the wall is you, the only one that messed up your room is you and so on.
So when I speak of Jamie, my cousin(an only child as well) I might as well be speaking of my sister as she is the closest thing I will ever have to a sister, even though I never tell her.
My husband works hard all day outside, in the heat/cold , rain , I would like to say snow but this is South Louisiana. I CHOOSE for him to have a hot meal at night, he does not request it or demand it, I do. However, last night after another blow and go weekend which I truely enjoyed, I did not have it in me. So I picked him up fish from Ralph and Kacoo's which is on the way home. and let me add that anyone who might be passing thru the city of Baton Rouge needs to stop and eat there.
While Steven and I ate cereal (by choice) and Ronnie ate his fish he said, why would you do that? and with a mouth full of Coco Puffs(enjoying every little crunch as it is not on my diet) I said it is just one of the things that I do for you. And he said i dont know how you do what you do,work,keep a house,juggle kids and still make all of us feel like we are first. And there is was,because just Friday night in the middle of breaking up a wanna be throw down between the kids , I thought to myself WHY AM I DOING THIS AND WHERE IS YOUR FATHER? Well of course Ronnie had fallen asleep how in the hurricane of 4 kids I cant tell you but so be it.
Now back to Jamie. Here is a woman with 3 kids (of which 2 are a set of twins) all boys, doing a very good impression of the juggling act as we all do. It never fails that the things that she sends me (email) ALWAYS stop me from letting my ugly side show(which everyone has one). We were both raised by women who came from a STRONG family background. My "sister" sent me the answer to Friday nights question. Just when I felt like I was spinning my wheels and nobody was there is see my smoke.
Please enjoy what is below and be blessed.
If you had one bit of doubt as to the purpose of your calling as a wife/mother or wonder if all your efforts are ever even noticed this video will erase all doubt.
