One of THOSE Mom's

Last night i was sitting on the couch pondering life and i came to the realization that I am one of THOSE moms....one of THOSE moms that i told myself i would never be! When I say one of THOSE moms, i mean the mom that doesn't want her kid to play on the playground because of all the germ infested kids that have been on it, the mom that packs the whole house for a one night stay in fear of forgetting something, the mom that calls 15 minutes after my child leaves the house to spend the night with Nana or YaYa (and calls 20 more times after that just to make sure everything is OK), the mom that hates being away from her child even on the days he drives me crazy, the mom that panics when he falls because im afraid there is internal bleeding, the mom that freaks out over the smallest things (example: eating a leaf), the mom that believes in co-sleeping because when he gets older he wont snuggle with me any more, the mom that listens to and does everything the doctor says even if i don't agree with him, the mom that daycare hates (im a little bossy and i let them know what pisses me off), the mom that sits there and stares at her sleeping baby for hours just thanking the Lord that he gave him to me, the mom that makes her child stay in a car seat until 6th grade graduation and then we will move up to a booster seat, the mom that practically puts on her child's life jacket for bath time, the mom that moves furniture out of the house because she fears that the baby will fall on it, the mom that keeps a list of all the immunization shots her baby has had in her purse, or the mom that wont let her baby walk around with a toothbrush or any object that could go in his eye, down his throat, up his nose, etc... Yeah i am one of THOSE moms. Most of you know this about me and deep down i know this about me, but i didn't want to admit it because that would mean that it is true. Some of you may think that there is nothing wrong with being that type of mom, but it overwhelms me (the constant worrying) and some days i wish i was the type of mom that was laid back and some days well a lot of days Jason wishes i was that type of mom too! I remember a long time ago ( i was 13 and my sister was 15) my twin cousins came to town (who were probably 14) and we went to the Fur Fin and Feather Festival. For those of you that don't know what it is, its just a small little festival that has a couple of rides, singing, and good food. Well some boys that we went to school with had a band and they were going to perform so it was a bunch of kids in the crowd (ages 13-18) and we thought we were so cool. Well the music started (it was kind of hard core rock) and the kids started jumping around so we all started jumping around...all of a sudden i could hear some crazy woman yelling MOSH PIT and out of the corner of my eye i saw my aunt coming for us yelling our names...that crazy woman yelling was my aunt and she was coming after us, i don't mean she was taking her time walking to us, i mean she was shoving kids out of the way to get to us and she literally picked us up out of the crowd and drug us to the side out of the way. Can we say EMBARRASSING? We were so mad that she drug us out of the crowd in front of our friends, but little did we know that people actually die in mosh pits from getting stomped to death. Now that i look back i am thankful that she mortified us the way she did. Yeah you guessed it...i am one of THOSE moms. Right now Landon doesn't understand the way i am, but when he becomes a teenager he will probably hate it, but what kid doesn't? So what if i try to get a background check on the parents of his friends or his girlfriends, so what if i follow him a couple of times just to see if he is really doing what he tells me he is doing, so what if i make him take germ-x with him every where he goes! I'm his mom he will always love me...he might not love my ways, but he will always love me! What it boils down to people, is that i am my mother.....there, i said it!
