TANYA'S MOMMY

"MOMMY" Oh my God, is this my new name? Really? My three year old is constantly calling me, and not in a regular voice but in a high pitched very loud (who knew a three year old could talk so loud) voice M-O-M-M-Y... My response is always, "yes" but what I'm really thinking is "who told you that I was your mommy?" LOL
When I drop her off at daycare it's "Goodmorning Tanya's Mommy" or "See you tomorrow Tanya's Mommy" when I pick her up. At home my husband says "go tell mommy" "where is mommy" HELLO I do have a name or did everyone forget???
Now if that's not bad enough, my own family and friends get me mixed up. They'll say "Tanya oops I mean Meka" OMG really??? So I guess from now on I'll be known as Tanya's Mommy LOL
Now that I got all of that off my chest let me say I love being a mom. I mean LOVE being a mom. Motherhood is the best thing that could have happened to me. It has given me the motivation to reach my goals so that one day I can say to my daughter to never give up on her dreams.
Before becoming MOMMY my life had been stagnant. I wasn't pursuing any of the goals I had for myself. I let everyday life take away my motivation. Having my daughter made me realize that I not only need to get things back on track for myself but also for her. I cringed at the thought of telling my daughter she had to go to college when I myself had dropped out TWICE, I could just see her at 17 years old saying "if you didn't why should I?" and me saying "Because I said so" (wincing at those words)
So I went back to school, not only did I finish but I finished Cum Laude!!! I was determined. Now I have positioned myself and my family in a much better position to live comfortably and not have the stresses of money that I had growing up.
So I guess being TANYA'S MOMMY isn't all that bad :) I'll keep the title...
