My promise to my kids

My promise to my kids:

I will stalk you, flip out on you, lecture you, drive you crazy,

Be your worst nightmare and hunt you down like a bloodhound when needed

Because I LOVE YOU!!

When you understand that, I will know you are a responsible adult.

You will NEVER find someone who loves you, prays for you, cares about you,

and worries about you more than me……..your Mom.

To my beautiful babies as your mom I promise to always love you, support you and as much as y’all drive me crazy I will always be here for you.

My commitment is to always put you first. ..Everything I do is for you

 Listen when you talk and try and keep an open mind

Always tell you I love you

To give you my undivided attention

Motivate you to make good decision

Divide my time between the 4 of you, which is hard but worth the challenge.

Give you hugs and kisses when you need them most

Teach you to pray and to know that Jesus is our Lord and Savor and without his grace we are nothing.

To allow you to grow up and make your own mistakes (but in my mind you will always be my babies no matter how old you get)

Things to remember:

Never let anyone force you into being something you’re not. Find your strength and don’t be ashamed of your weakness. It’s ok to be original, always strive to lead so that you won’t have to follow. Take Education seriously!! There is a lot in this world to learn. Follow your dreams…. Believe in it; work hard for it, because nothing is impossible.

My goal:
Is to work on me; to become a better mom, wife, sister, daughter & friend.

Love Mom
