I think about them all the time...am I doing it right? What else could I be doing? I'm preparing them to be the people I think the world needs but am I preparing them for the world?
Adriana calls me every night.
-Mami where are you?
My answer is usually: In a meeting, or on my way to a meeting.
(This is because I'm trying to make a positive change/impact in their world)
-Are you coming home late?
My answer is usually: Yes.
-Ok, be careful, I love you!
My question: Did you do your homework?
-Yes, ummm, I have some left.
I proceed to check in with the others,
Elsa, always active: Hi Mami! I did my homework! School was good! Bye! I Love you!
Anelisse: Mami? You coming home now? Why not? That's too long, See you later!
Growing up I hated this very thing...not having my parents around...choices.
On the weekends, Girl power, Girls night out, Mami and me day
Quality, not quantity is what I'm working on right now...
I guess the fact that every once in a while they stop doing what they are doing and check in with me and say..
I love you, Mami...
and go about their business could mean I'm doing something right.
Work in progress but so far so good.
Girls!
