I'm actually glad...
That I had a boy. Not that I wouldn't have been happy if I had a girl but I was thinking about it all. Yeah, I'm prissy at times but think about this. Growing up, I was a tomboy to a point. I was involved in Martial Arts and during that time girls still weren't really big into that then. I was usually the only girl in the class. I know about guns grew up around them. I like cars and even started working on them, learned how to change a tire as soon as I got my learner's permit and change the oil.
A couple of nights ago lil man and I were watching the last Rocky movie. It was the big fight scene and I'm sitting here talking to my 3 month old about the stances that both fighters were using and the punches they were throwing. Then it dawned on me, I was supposed to have a boy first.
Now I did girl scouts, ballet, tap dance, Hawaiian dancing all girl stuff. I had barbies and I was always swimming but if the all the kids in the neighborhood were playing I was with the guys doing "ambushes" this is before paintball. I'd fish but couldn't stand to put the worm on the hook.
Now that I'm an adult and I look at what I'm doing now. I used to work at a car dealership in the service department, even worked at Wal-Mart in the TLE. I love NASCAR and baseball. I would prefer pants to dresses, although I like to dress up from time to time. I'm still a woman in every sense but I'm the mother of a boy and I'm about a 1/4 prepared for what lies ahead with him, I say 1/4 because I have no idea what he's going to be like and this is supposed to be an adventure. At least I'm looking at it that way.
