Be consistent with me, then I can trust your words and actions.
Comfort me when I am scared, hurt or sad. Then I’ll know that I’m okay even when I’m not feeling strong or happy.
Take responsibility for all your feelings and actions. Then I also won’t blame others and I will take responsibility for my life.
Communicate what you feel hurt or frightened about. When you’re angry at me. Then I’ll feel I’m a good person and I’ll learn how to constructively deal with my feelings.
Tell me clearly and specifically what you want. Then I can haer you and I’ll also know how to communicate my needs in a positive way.
Express to me that I’m okay even when my words or behavior may not be. Then I can learn from my mistakes and have high self-esteem.
Balance your life between work and play. Then I can believe that I can grow up, be responsible, and still have fun.
Remember what you wanted when you were my age. Then you’ll better understand my needs and interests.
Understand and accept me. I may be different from you and I’m okay.
Treat me as an individual. Then I’ll know that I can be my unique self.
Hug me and tell me that you care about me. Then I’ll feel lovable and I’ll express caring to others.
Thank you for hearing me. I love you.

I know I’ve been writing a lot about mother’s day, but It’s one of my favorite “holidays” and I am very particular about gifts that I pick out for loved ones. I remember one year for I bought my mom a big bouquet of red roses, I got her a collectable plate, and a ruby ring. Of course I was a lot younger and didn’t have a child back then, so I could afford to splurge. She loved her gifts though. I lived closer to her back then, however so gift giving was easier. Now that we live further apart, I might send her some flowers and a box of chocolates from 1800flowers.com. I have a coupon from a previous order, so I would be able to afford something really nice. I’m not sure if she would like flowers or roses, though. I remember one mother’s day I got roses from my now ex boyfriend. I actually cried, but I think it’s because I’d never received roses before and they were so beautiful. So I may go with roses. Besides what woman doesn’t LOVE roses? Seriously, and right now 1800flowers.com is having a contest called the Celebrate Mom For Who She Is Contest. They are giving away over $30,000 in prizes. The contest ends on May 1, 2008.

A few days ago I went to the grocery store for a few things.. nothing major. I noticed a sale on Fritos and Cheetos. The sale price if you bought 10 bags was $1.00 each. $1.50 if you don’t buy 10. Being as they are usually priced around $2.50, I thought this was a huge savings. I’m not the biggest fan of Fritos or Cheetos though, but my kiddo likes them and for $1.00 a bag I’m so there. I mean hell, I’m always looking for a bargain, you know? So yeah.. needless to say I have 10 bags of Cheetos and Fritos (5 bags of each) in my pantry. LOL. But uh.. as I was heading towards the checkout I see some lady putting a million gold fish bags on the conveyor belt thingy and I’m like “are those on sale?!” She said yea, they are 50 cents a bag if you buy 10. So, I also have 10 bags of goldfish crackers in my pantry. I wonder if you can have a Cheetos overdose for real? Either way, I’m sure my child is thrilled.
