I know that I sound opinionated, maybe biased...

But I think I have the two best kiddos in the world... cutest too :)

So my day 7 blog in my 30 days of truth is devoted to them!

Day 7: Someone who has made your life worth living for.

So in this case, I can't just choose "someone" because I have two little boys that have made my life worth living for.

Some people have no desire to be parents. Either they just don't like kids in general, the temper tantrums, the responsilibilty, the poop, the snot, the vomit, the pee... whatever it may be, they just don't feel like they could/or want to deal with that.

Or there are the people that maybe like kids and could deal with the grossness that sometimes accompanies babies and whatnot, but they just don't think they would make good parents.

Whether they feel they are too selfish, or too immature, or just don't think they could shape and mold young children into good little people that grow into decent adults.

There is nothing wrong with these people... I have a lot of friends that fall into this group. They are still my friends, and they still seem to like MY kids, just don't want kids of their own.

And I can totally respect that. Being a parent isn't ever easy... sometimes isn't fun... almost always is scary... But there are some people, like me, that wouldn't have it any other way.

Growing up I ALWAYS knew I wanted to be a mom. If I thought I could handle it emotionally and financially I'd have like 20 kids... I just love kids that much... but I'm quite happy with my 2, thank you very much!

I never had big hopes and dreams of a glamorous career... I always saw myself as a wife and stay at home mom.

Circumstances have made it so that I am no longer a wife, and cannot afford to be a stay at home mom, so I don't mind getting out there and working as hard as I can for my kids.

And I do really hope to be a nurse someday... and wanting to be a labor and delivery nurse just shows you how special I think babies are!

But I don't think there is one single job out there that is more rewarding than being a parent. And I wouldn't trade being a mom for anything.

Sure it's hard, and sure sometimes I miss being unencumbered and being able to do things at the drop of a hat... but in the end... that kind of lifestyle just gives you instant gratification, but not long term gratification.

And yeah.. being a single mom has been a kick in the ribs to say the least. Emotionally, financially, romantically, it's rough.

I've met and dated a lot of douchebags yes... but I've also met and dated some decent men as well... but why then am I not in a relationship... because they just couldn't handle the whole single mom bit... not ready for kids... or the whole instant family thing.

And while that hurts... yeah... that they couldn't see the value in me, and in my kids... at the same time. I don't blame them for being scared. And I don't blame my kids for my singlehood.

When the right man comes along that can see that I have a lot offer, and that my amazing kiddos are a bonus, not a hinderance... it will be all worth it!
