As Time has gone on and I have come to realize that I will be a stay at home mom for a long time, I now understand why people blog. What a great way to share your thoughts and feelings, Usually just with yourself as we are our number 1 readers. But most importantly to feel what you are feeling. A strange thing feelings are sometimes. Even more strange is how we tend to protect or guard ourselves from them. Sometimes completely unknowingly. So today I write just to start this process and am sharing a few unorganized thoughts with you. Enjoy!
Womens Rights
I heard somewhere that women and men are equal, we are the "same" and that I have the RIGHT to be a woMAN and have all that a man has.
I have the right to work 9-5
I have the right to tell my man to do the dishes
I have the right to have my man do the laundry
I have the right to not have to make myself or my family dinner
I have the right to play and have my husband nurture the children.
I pondered on these thoughts for awhile and reminded myself that I am a women and I do have womens rights. I am a women and I also have the right to embrase it!
I am a women and have the right to be a partner to my husband, to be loved and be held. To allow someone to take care of me and I take care of him. To truly work together as a team. Knowing my own strengths and knowing his.
I am a mother and have the right to raise my own children, cook for my family
to feed them and nourish them, to encourage them and love them, to smile and lead them
and to say thank you when they hug me so tightly.
I am a mother who proudly wears my drool stained badges left on my shirt on the way out the door, from the baby who I gladly change his diapers and love him only the way that a MOTHER can.
I am a daughter who can see that her family is everything. Who learned from her mother,
just what it means to be a women. I have Womens rights to be who I am. A Daughter, a Wife, a Mother, a Sister, and a Friend.
