Are their fits to get their point across or to drive you utterly insane. I know, they are learning at a young age which buttons to push to drive you nuts and which buttons push to get what they want. The have a photographic memory which holds the answers to these questions and they are able to retrieve the data at a moments notice to use it to get anything they want from you. They are cunning but oh, so lovable and fun.

The cute beautiful sneaky creatures that they are, so brilliant and deceiving a great combination! They fool you with those cute little checks that are so irresistibly pinchable and top it with sweet innocent smiles. The icing on the cake is all the kisses and hugs their unconditional love. One of their greatest gifts that they bestow on you.

With all that being said, I have figured out away to get them back a tad all in fun of course. I love to irritate them, bug them with hugs and kisses. Chase them and pick on them. Do all sorts of silly things which have the wee ones fussing and the big ones yelling “MOM”. I’m the cunning devious mother who has way to much fun irritating them. A goal which I accomplish everyday according to them. LOL

We have lots of FUN everyday. There is not a day that goes by that kisses, hugs and I love yous are not passed out to everyone along with me bugging them. I would never trade the babies in for anything in this world. No matter how fussy they are, for if they were not here to drive me insane and irritate me who would do that and what would my life be like. mmmm wait minute, what am I saying. I would love to have a quiet life with no fussing fit throwing kids. If only I would of thought about that before I had kids. Just kidding; maybe!

To me having kids is one step closer to being deliriously happy!~By Ann Marie (aaworkingmoms)

When I’m talking different, I’m talking about people who might have tattoo’s, piercing, multicolored hair, chains, dress differently, have different views, different ways of life. Kinda like the hippies from the  60’s.

Most people I find that dare to be themselves no matter what society thinks are usually very intelligent people who have great views and love for life. They have a sense of freedom that most people don’t have. They do not try to keep up the “Jones” instead they usually  are great lovers of life, knowledge and the environment. They think out of the box and have different ways of looking at things. Now this doesn’t mean that all different people think that way but most that I have came across are like this. They are usually warm and generous people and are very accepting.

You ask how I know about  being different from the norm. Well, I have tatoos and 14 holes in my ears. When my hair is down and my tatoos are covered I’m treated one way but when people see the tatoos and ear piercing they immediately treat me different. I’m not talking about the people who know I have them. I”m talking about strangers.  They don’t try to get to know me. The door is shut. How sad because they would find out that  I’m a loving mom, with a positive attitude, have an online business, have a dual degree one in Nursing and another one in  Child Development and I go to church. No different from the person that follows the norm. I just love myself and embrace my differences. I strive to be myself and love who I am. To me being your true self and following your path and not someone else’s  path is one the greatest steps you can take to becoming deliriously happy and bursting with joy.

So the next time you come accross a person who dares to be themselves don’t critize instead leave the door open and find out who they are, you might find a good friend who enriches your life. ~Ann Marie anessa.me
