Just another digi day…

A woman found her Prince Charming at age 33, he has 2 son’s and she had a 1 1/2 year old son at the time of marraige.

Then at age 37, feeling great…..

Honey, I want to have a baby, I want a GIRL.

Boy I sure didn’t know what I was getting into did I?  I had her 6 days shy of 39.

After having a girl a whole new set of worries and fears come out of nowhere and I am determined, even though I can be a little rough on the edges at times,  that I am going to teach my daughter how to be a lady.  I want her to have the best in life, to respect herself, love herself and stick up for herself  tactfully and like a lady, not like a man.

I had an idea and had to flow with it.  Because I planned it out in my mind, then looked up a sketch that would fit my vision it only took a few minutes to make.  The only problem is it will take a lifetime to finish it.  I haven’t had much computer time lately nor wanted to be on the computer much, so having it all planned out made it easy, all I had to do is add some papers and font.  I am sure I will toss around the title a few times before print but I loved the concept of making my daughter a book, on how to be a lady.  That way if anything happens to me before she graduates and is on her own, she will have her mother’s words to look at and the memories of me making them for her.  I want to base it upon a book that was given to me by my step mom, but not the same title.  That book is called something like, The rules of being a lady. My daughter is almost 6 (this week as a matter of fact) and I am constantly teaching her proper conduct for a girl.  With two boys in the house she needs to learn that boys and girls are different.  I think it would be great to incorporate that with my crafty things.

 

Lady

Even if it turns out to be a small book it would be a keepsake for her weather I am with her forever or not.  My wish in life is to be able to see her marry and have children but technically I am old enough to be her grandmother.  My grandmother passed away when I was in my early 20′s. I know a gal who was in her early 20′s, her mother passed away early due to cancer, and now I see that my niece is going through the same with her grandparents.  It’s one thing being your grandparent but another to be your parent.  I recently lost my father and thankfully I still have my mother at age 45.  You never grow to old not to need your parents any longer, some of us in this world has had to make due but no matter how old you get, you feel like the big kid inside of you.

 I don’t plan to live til I am 100, so every day of her life and my son too I want them to know how loved they are and I wish I could be with them forever but I surely don’t want to leave this world until I have seen my children be the young responsible man I am trying to raise and a little lady that can take care of herself when times get rough.

Ok, that was enough to share with the world wide web, but so true.

Have a good day everyone, Thank you for stopping by to see my project today.

Hope to see you again soon!

  1. What a fabulous post Lissa – love this wonderful idea. I love how you threw in “We do not fart in public” LOL! Well we try not too LOL! Have a great day. TFS

  2. beautiful post Lissa! I wish I had been able to have a daughter. I just have 2 sons. But…you are NOT that old. My Mom was 43 when she had me and that was way before it was a popular thing to do. (note – I am older than you are). My kids were born when I was 33 and 39. You are only as old as you feel. Don’t focus on checking out early. God has our time all mapped out and whatever it will be it will be.

    • Those are very encouraging words, thank you. It surely isn’t a plan just another fear like fire. I do gotta say having kids at a later age keeps you looking young :)
