You're awesome, girl.

aaaw i love this post by malaya, I definitely feel the same about motherhood.... my child is my greatest accomplishment...and considering how sucky i had things w my mother.... i strive to do exactly the opposite... i love being a classroom mom and being extremely active in my sons private school/education, prekinder basketball, karate, and overall artistic interest in drawing, painting, coloring nonstop.... he takes after his mothers artistic side... im absolutely proud of my lil offsprng....i def have to admit, that before the baby, this part of my life took first priority...but after he came about, i definitely put him first and all of my enjoyment here second....
thats definitely what i am sincerely proud of.... being a mom....
since we're all "humbly boasting"::: i have been working from 8 am to 1 pm every wk day (if i do not get a booking within that time frame) for >> Haven for Hope and will proceed until the first wk of December, i will admit, its for school and my future resume, but i had a thousand non profit organizations to choose from, and i firmly chased after this position, because of their sincere objective to keep the homeless fed, warm and hopeful:::: i truly admire those that stay at this organization full time and make such a drastic difference.... if any of you are interested in volunteering for the holidays, or simply donating i will gladly contact you with their wish list, or availability and would love to see some faces there.... i must admit.... it feels real good when you can quietly make certain individuals smile...
i do have to say, that not all of it is as cliche as people think... many hours i simply just do clean up and mopping, laundry, counting items on the wish list and scrubbing toilets.... still, those days when i DO get to feed them from the food bank line... i genuinely enjoy it.... i hope some of you would love to join me....
