I was never worried

While thinking about my life as a Mother.....while the most recent holiday was just upon us, I reminded myself how amusing it is that I turned out as good at it as I am. Not to brag , but I would say I have been fairly successful. What I mean to say is to my knowledge my children don't hate me...yet. Of course, keep hope alive kids...there is always time!

To Begin With

My future was not always so bright in the area of potential motherhood. As a matter of fact my prospects for a date weren't all that great! By the time I hit high school all my peers seem to peak in their developmental stride. Me, of course, never even knew there was such a thing as puberty.....fun for me in many ways, but not so much fun when you were as boy crazy as I was. Yes...I was that girl, I had tons of boy-friends! Not BOYFRIENDS! To my dismay, I just wasn't the kind of girl they wanted....unless it was to hang out and ride around town and laugh and be the go-between in the hunt for babes! I guess you could say I was like " Watts" in the movie Some Kind of Wonderful and I had several "Keith" characters I was crushing on. I promise I had more fun than the other girls.

Finally

By nearly all the way thru my Senior year at seventeen and three-fourths, I finally began to ....let's just say mature! Just the beginnings though.....finally got a date or two....scared the crap out of me.....was not ready for ALL THAT! Would prefer to stay "Watts." So I did and had the best time in the world. Apparently my reputation preceded me and I ended up in the annual with a snarky "staff" writer opinion! I went back to re-read what it stated and now I am even more bugged by it. Stupid freaks on the annual staff! They added a lot of snarky comments to the graduating seniors BIO.

See example A.

Notice the last (2) lines....emphasis on last one! Of course maybe when I stated that..." Marriage will be a last resort unless someone comes along to change my mind." caused the freaks to use this against me. This was only self preservation...a lonely girls cry for help.....sad, poor silly girl, yet to be grown-up! They make sitcoms about girls like me now! Born before my time once again.....story of my life! This still does not give the freaks rights to be judge and jury!

The joke's on them...by college and about nineteen years old I was on my way....no Farrah Faucet-Majors (that was her name then!) but I could hold my own! In high school my awkwardness gave way to becoming a good person...not like the self involved girls (though I longed to be like them...I wasn't that good!)

So.....when I was well into college, after I had loved and lost a couple of times, I fell for a good one and as to not give him "the big head" I will not embarrass him with the details. But I fell hard and fast and with him we had four gorgeous children AND I think I was a pretty darn good wife. He is still with me after thirty years and I am confident of thirty more. He did come along to change my mind and I have never looked back.

For all those awkward immature young girls out there who wonder if they were going to ever evolve into a woman.....hang on it will happen and I will tell you just as my Mom told me....when it happens you will be sorry....watch what you ask for! Enjoy the innocence and take time to enjoy the ride. Do like me and prove all those boys wrong.....the ones that peaked early and are bald or balding and have a bit of a belly...working on their second or third wife! It is their loss. And to all the ones who hold all the power in high school...I officially stick my tongue out at you...stupid bunch of freaks!

By the way.

......if there is a "stupid bunch of freaks" society that I have been rude to and UN-Politcally correct to...please forgive. This is my blog...I can gripe if I want to! And I was never worried!!
