M I C H E L L E FM2 INFJDaddy's blog: "12 TYPES OF BLACK MEN"

Before I was a Mom - I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom - I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom - I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

Once we realize that imperfect understanding is the human condition, there is no shame in being wrong, only in failing to correct our mistakes.

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. Opportunity is often difficult to recognize; we usually expect it to beckon us with beepers and billboards.

Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.

1. Fine : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. 2. Five Minutes : If she is getting dressed, this means half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house. 3. Nothing : This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine. 4. Go Ahead : This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It! 5. Loud Sigh : This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.) 6. That's Okay : This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake. 7. Thanks : A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome. 8. Whatever : Is a woman's way of saying ______ YOU ! 9. Don't worry about it, I got it : Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" For the woman's response, refer to #3.

What is passion when you cant get passed the pain. I know that in life we all have done things for the moment, But should you let that define who you are as a person. If you say you want love in your life, Then you should make sure you are ready to love and not be a victim for passed pain. Love is the fresh air that travels thru passion, But betrail is the walls built from pain. How can you love and not trust, But want to claim your real. My passion goes deep like my soul 2 life, References to the days within my years. {thats real} Dont look for love until you understand pain, Because either one comes with a sacrifice. What R you willing to pay, Trust to be open or closed to who U are.

I put my time and energy into you As if you were my life I gave you all that I knew how to give But yet it wasn't enough I thought that if I stood by you Then you would stand by me But you're pouring out a glass of water As I stare at you thirsty Sometimes I feel like I'm a prisoner Mind trapped in the cell of a body I look inside to find myself Mirror, mirror can you find me? Help me to be who I'm suppose to be Sometimes I get off track So I start to read my written words Then, I remember where I'm at If life is like sex Then I feel I'm being raped I'm crying out stop While inside I'm bleeding hate I keep on hearing that it's all my fault I put myself in this position I never asked to be born in life Now I fear recantation When it was all over I was left with thoughts to be Now I take myself to another place Mirror, mirror can you find me?

Forever I will remember this day, Regardless of the way it ends. Inside I know I was me the whole time, Even when the world doesn't know I exist. No one could ever take that away from me, Don't let death be the life you live. I always tried to find the best in people, Some you have to search a little deeper. Situations in life come and sometimes go Overall I must be my only rock. Mind over matter is always the best taste. Even when it seems like the answer is easy. One mistake in life could mean death Nowone will live forever but 4-ever will be a memory Even when I want it to be reality. Who knows the key to true friendship? How does it work when you still have bills? Only God will know the answer to that. Kicking it on the weekends sometimes with drinks Never saying to each other this could be our last day Only living for the moment, one heartbeat at a time Who will save me when I am falling? Some say turn to God, let him fight your battles. You don't understand your not looking into my eyes Only I can see the real me, know the real truth Unless I call you my friend.
