Forever Gone

I lost sight, I lost my smile. I lost my life, it’s been gone a while.
I lost my friends, I lost this fight. I lost myself and can’t see the light.
I hurt inside, I hurt so bad. I cry so much, inside I’m sad.
Forget the reasons, forget the why’s. Forget the memories, forget the lies.
Just another memory. Jut another thought. Just another day. Jut a fight I fought.
Just another person. Just another friend. Just another reason forever always ends.
Just another promise. Just another lie. Just another thing that makes you wonder why.
Forever isn’t always. Forever isn’t real. Forever isn’t life, you learn to grow and heal.
Where did I go wrong. Was I ever right? Where did I change? Why did I lose sight?
How do you forget? How do you move on? How can it change when forever’s already gone?

Being a Mother

Mothers…how much credit do we actually get? Our job is not a nine to five, it is non stop. We wake to the sounds of our children’s voices and fall asleep thinking of all that still needs to be done. We clean house, dust, vacuum, wash dishes, cook dinner, do laundry, change sheets, walk and feed pets, and pick up after everyone. Some of us still have jobs outside the home, while others choose to work from home. Mothering a child alone is more than a full-time job, so adding outside work piles on top of that. Do we get credit for all that we do? I don’t think so! I love when people make comments and say “I’d love to have your job!” …with implications that mothers merely sit on their butts and watch tv all day. Mothers who do their job do not have time to sit and watch tv all day! I personally am lucky to have one hour a week… and of course that hour of television is dedicated to watching nip/tuck!

People judge us, imply we are lazy, and basically criticize everything we do. For once I would like someone to look at the situation and say “wow, what a great job you are doing with your kids!” it would be nice to have someone notice that there are always clean clothes, towels and sheets. My children are always washed and clean. Dinner is always in their stomachs along with all other meals and snacks in between. Pets are fed and taken care of. The house is vacuumed and cleaned. And yes since I do have 2 businesses that I run out of my home there may be clutter or inventory here and there but by no means is my house dirty.

I take good care of my family. My children are loved and made to feel special. I help with homework while trying to get work done myself or while cooking dinner. Some nights I do all these things at one time…other nights I add to the list. My list is never-ending. I don’t get to get up and go to work and clock out at the end of the day only to sit on my butt in front of a tv or video game. I work constantly sometimes until the wee hours of the morning leaving myself only a few hours of sleep. Then waking up to start the same thing again. I am not complaining, I am making a point. If you know a mother thank her and congratulate her on all she has done. I guarantee you that if it weren’t for our mothers most of us wouldn’t be where we are today!
