Dear Friends,
I decided to start this blog today because I feel that I have a lot to say and Iwas told that a blogger is just someone that needs to vent by getting her crap out there. So here's my Crap......I had to have The "TALK" this past weekend with my 10 year old daughter. I bought some Sparking apple cider, made dinner reservations, dropped her annoying 8 year old brother off at a friends for the night and sent her Dad to work. I was going to do this with STYLE. Well Im not sure thats what happened.
I treated her to not 1 but 2 japanese sodas at the Costly Upscale Japanese resteraunt near us. By the time we saw the Flaming volcano of onions she looked at me like she was going to toss her cookies..Uh Oh! In my head Im freaking out becuz I haven't even mentioned the words "Boobies" or "Vagina" and she's already sick.
I begged for a couple boxes, got her in the car ..and she farts and burps the whole way home. Feeling a little giggly I remind her that we still have to have the TALK...
We got on our PJ's, started to cuddle and I mentioned some changes that might start happening to her soon. I told her that she will develop boobies and her hips might spread a little. Her body makes eggs that will travel to her uterus. Her uterus will have to shed some blood and that led to a bunch of sobbing. I was in shock. I haven't even mentioned a PENIS and she is crying.. Uggh! This was on Sat. night and its now Thurs. In this time she has written a letter to God and asked me to also write one...Which is comical because I feel like she should be upset with Him not me. HE is the Creator of all Things..Even the UTERUS! That WILL shed blood!!
My lil girl is so sweet and sensitive that i need this blog to get out my sarcasm.
Needless to say, the Talk is to be continued for now....
She came in this morning wearing a bra that I had bought her yesterday..Tears streaming down her face. i asked what had happened..?? "I dont want to grow up", "Please dont make me where this thing today.".I asked if any of her friends wear them ,she says yes, I ask who? she says "all of them". "But, Im a lot smaller than them".... sob sob. She won. Took it off, and I said "Tomorrow you will wear it! and you will wear it without any tears"!
