Being Mommy

First, for the record I never wanted to have children. My life was supposed to be glamorous sex in the city 2010 version of Carey. My ideal version of myself was living down town in a high rise enjoying a cocktail for happy hour. I was not supposed to live in suburban Katy with two boys and a four bedroom 2 bath 1 car garage. So, how did I end up in another reality far from the one I dreamed of everyday in my youth. Well, as they say I meet Mr. Right who appeared from a dating website on a fluke and it was a whirl wind since 2002. I turned my pub loving city dreams into a mild mannered wife who was expecting our first son. How did I know my husband was my perfect match? When I was 7 month pregnant we lost everything in a fire. Our one bedroom condo burned to the ground but we never stopped living we kept going and survived together. We never skipped a beat never focused on what we did not have but what we planned on having our baby. I think when you lose everything nothing seems worth anything. My dreams of sky scrappers landed in the rear part of my brain to set on the back burner of my reality. Our son Kamran was born and life changed! Life became so much more richer filled with baby laughs and countless amounts of diapers. My husband became a father and I became a mother and life was better. So, my daydreams of youth faded away and replaced by my new reality. I was mommy again to our little baby Jacob my pregnancy was marked by many world winds of chaos. Jacob endured a hurricane, funeral, and loss of great grandpa the day after he was born. Jacob is a smart over the top little guy who keeps everyone on their toes. So, being Mommy never stops it is a 24 hour job which keeps me on call everyday. Being Mommy is the greatest gift I have been given and life in the city lacks nothing compared to Mommy.
