Babies, Babies, Babies!

First and foremost. I AM NOT PREGNANT!! But it seems like everybody around is having babies and well I wanted to brag on my wonderful friends! :)

Recently I've had conversations with 2 different friends(who happen to be mama's too) and we've talked about parenting. Obviously I have no idea what it is like to have to raise a child, but I can tell you that I know an immature mother when I see it. Currently I have multiple friends that have children and they are the best mama's in the world! One has 2 children who she has 24/7 for the most part and is doing her best to raise them right, by herself while working and going to school. The dad's are immature and don't know what it takes to have a child. They should be counting their blessings that their children have such an amazing Mother. Another friend, recently had a baby and I can't tell you how amazed I am with all that she's accomplished. She not only is taking classes, running a household, taking care of her child, but she is also raising another child that is not hers. Her boyfriend already had a daughter whose mother is well....a mother-not a mom. Luckily that little girl has my friend in her life to be her "mom" :)

Now to the point(I just had to brag about my wonderful fraanns!) These 2 ladies have had to obviously mature faster than others but they honestly motivate me. Everytime I complain to myself that my life is just so hectic all I have to do is think of them. They do it all and they may be exhausted, but at the end of the day they are happy. I give them props. Really. I do. They motivate me to be more productive, positive, and happy. If they can do this, then I can go to school and work. Yes, I get stressed and breakdown but I CAN DO IT. I have one year of school left. Just one. I need to get through this year, get that degree, find a job, get married, and then I can start doing what they are doing...having families. Hopefully I'll be as happy as they are (and they can give me pointers!) For the meantime I'll just enjoy everyone else's babies as much as possible! :)
