If you are one of those people who feel the need to constantly tell me to take in every moment and enjoy my time with my daughter because time flies and you'll miss this, then please, shut up.
Do you honestly think it makes any sense to tell a mother that her daughter will grow up and time will go by fast? Don't you think that's something EVERYONE already knows? It's like telling a sky diver to watch out for the ground because eventually he will touch it. No Sh*!.
Giving this kind of "advice" hits three of my pet peeves at once! I cannot stand being told unimportant, and nonsensical information. It's a waste of everyone's time involved. I can't stand being given unsolicited "advice." And last but not least, I HATE being lumped into categories just because I'm a mom, or for any other reason.
Personally, I love watching my daughter grow and accomplish new things. I'm excited for the future. I get to mold this little person from scratch. I'm the sole reason, other than her daddy, for her success or failure. I get to smile with her and be proud of all that she accomplishes. I don't want to have this tiny little baby who needs every bit of my attention all of the time forever. That's why people get older, because if they didn't moms and dads would go crazy.
So for now, I love seeing her roll over and try to talk and grow. No one would be very happy as a baby forever and I wish her all the happiness in the world, so she needs to grow.
Let's recap incase you're one of those annoying people I've previously mentioned and STILL don't get it.
DO NOT tell me I will miss this and that time go fast. A) You don't know me. So don't assume. B) I know time goes fast. I've lived 21 for 21 fast years and I'm fully capable of understanding that concept.
DO NOT offer me advice when I didn't ask for it. That just makes you an annoying person. But if you are going to give me random advice please think it through and make sure it's actually something I might not know and/or something that could benefit my life. If not, shut up.
DO NOT stereotype me. Unless you want to be unfriended from facebook, or if you actually have the nads to do it to my face, get whatever's in my hand at the time (hopefully something that stains) in your face.
Thanks for taking the time out of your day to understand that you are extremely annoying to me and hopefully you can stop your crazy antics.
Let me finish by saying you aren't a bad person, you just suck in my eyes. I'm sure there are people out there who love people like you. They probably gossip a lot and suck at life but they are still people who will appreciate you so go find them and stay away from me.
Sincerely,

I know exactly how you feel. It seems like everyone feels the need to tell others how to live their life and what to expect out of it when they have not the slightest clue. As long as you are doing what makes you happy, don't worry about what others think. Don't let them get to you; It's not their fault they are so ignorant. :)
Get em girl! You really make me smile. Say it like it is.
Ok, I am writing this for the third time, since it keeps getting erased.
I came across your blog while searching for a semper fi tattoo. I had so much fun reading some of your blogs. My husband has been in the USMC for 20 years and currently on a 2 year tour. We had the option of going with him for 3 years, but after much struggle and weighing everything, we decided he would go alone and I would stay behind with the girls. We have 4 teen daughters 19-12 and we didn’t want to make them move from their friends and schools again. The Jr. High and High School years are already hard enough. Plus after this he will retire and we plan to settle here for a bit. Anyway he has been gone 368 days now (but who’s counting) and only been home once. Some days are harder then others. It was so nice to read your blog and feel like someone actually understands what I am going through. I get tired of people asking how I am and how we are getting by without him. Then reading Face Book friends complaining about their husband being gone for a week and how hard it is. Give me a break. Anyway, thank you so much for sharing your feelings in a blog I look forward to hearing more. Hugs to you and your beautiful little girl.
