Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

So tomorrow brings the end of a whirlwind year, the first full year of my life I have spent being a fully time mommy to the most amazing Baby boy in the world.
This past year has certainly brought it's ups and downs, and honestly I am not prepared for another year of the same.
-I have had inlaws trying to get my son taken from me
-I have been so poor I have had to sell much of belongings to make sure my son never realizes the difference
-I have seen my boy crawl and eventually begin to walk
-I have seen him blow out his first birthday candle and smash the cake in his face
-I have nearly torn my hair out from the stress of having a baby however it is worth it
-I have tried to juggle working and being a mom
Every year brings it's mix of bad and good and every year the day before my birthday I always develop the Peter Pan mentality I DON'T want to grow up. So I spend the day thinking about the good old days and wishing I had a time machine to go back and re do some years.

Tomorrow I turn 22 and I feel like I am turning 40
Crazy times.
