THE ONE FLAW IN WOMEN

By the time the Lord made woman,
He was working overtime.
An angel appeared and said,
'Why are you spending so much time on this one?'
And the Lord answered,
'Have you seen my spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic,
have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable
and able to run on diet coke and leftovers,
have a lap that can hold four children at one time,
have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart
-and she will do everything with only two hands.'

The angel was astounded at the requirements.
'And only two hands!? No way!
And that's just on the standard model?
That's too much work for one day.
Wait until tomorrow to finish.'

'But I won't, ' the Lord protested.
'I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart.
She already heals herself when she is sick
AND can work 18 hour days.'

The angel moved closer and touched the woman.
'But you have made her so soft, Lord.'

'She is soft,' the Lord agreed,
'but I have also made her tough.
You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish.'

'Will she be able to think?', asked the angel.

The Lord replied, 'Not only will she be able to think,
she will be able to reason and negotiate.'

The angel then noticed something,
and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek.
'Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model.
I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one.'

'That's not a leak,'
the Lord corrected,
'that's a tear!'

'What's the tear for?' the angel asked.

The Lord said, 'The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow,
her pain, her disappointment, her love,
her loneliness, her grief and her pride.'
The angel was impressed.
'You are a genius, Lord.
You thought of everything! Woman is truly amazing.'

And she is!
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take 'no' for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE TINY FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

34 weeks and counting...

A month left of :

Being a family of THREE
Spending time with my ONLY child
Telling my baby boy that he's my only baby
Trying to get everything ready and organized for this little GIRL
Being outnumbered in this all boy family of ours
Buying only toy cars and trucks
Spending as much time as i can possiable squeeze in with my loves
Reading all the books we can get our hands on
Teaching that baby boy of mine as many songs and poems as i can
Sleeping through the night
Getting my house cleaned from top to bottom
Enjoying life as it is!!!


To be honest im a bit worried about all the changes that are about to happen to our little family...
it seems that i just got comfortable with life as it is now. Im worried that i won't know how to treat this gentle little baby GIRL of ours, i won't know what to do, and how to be a good momma to her. Will i love her as much as i love my growing baby boy? Will he treat her good? How will i handle this new life of ours?
So much to think about it and time is slipping right under my fingers, before i know it our little family of 3 will be a big family of 4!!!
But meanwhile i promised myself to take it one day at a time. Enjoy every moment i have with our only baby now, teach him as many things as i can possiable squeeze into that growing mind of his, tell him that i love him every second i get, and give him a million hugs and kisses a day.
And hopefully when the time is right i'll be all ready to meet that baby girl of mine...
