Mommy of a four legged kind!

Hooked on dooce! There I was watching Oprah one day last April when I learned of Heather Armstong, a stay at home mom that writes a blog named dooce.  Her story was inspiring, I couldn’t get her out of my thoughts for days, so I decided to check out her blog.  I am now hooked, I’ve got to see what she is up to everyday, it’s not for the mom stuff although it is fascinating, but for the way she tells a story with warmth and humor, well its just flat out makes me feel! And I love that!

Today I had an aha moment after reading part 3 of her labor story.  I had never wanted kids of the two legged type, WHY?  I love kids, always have, always will.  I love watching them learn and grow, I love figuring out what triggers things they say and do.  I love talking about  them(to the point that my husband, will say “ok I’ve had enough Caiden stories today”). So WHY, and there it was staring me in the heart!  I suddenly remembered all of those labor (horror to me) stories the mom’s would tell when I was a kid, I remembered saying to myself “I will never go through that pain”!  And that is how I came to name myself the eternal Aunt Diana.  I guess I have the motherly instincts, it feels like I do, or is it just the kid in me who will always have an excuse to watch cartoons and Disney movies.  Who knows!
