Last Night we had Girls Night @ My House & when I mean girls night, I don't mean going out Partying & Dancing on Bar Tops and then crawling in your front door to find yourself praying to "The Porcelain Goddess" which was what "Girls Night" use to consist of. Nooo...
I had all My Fave Girls w/ our little ones & of course most of Our Mothers. We sat around the pool once the Munchkins all fell asleep & talked about Our Careers, Lives, Kids, Love, Marriage & Sex.
I think last night was the 1st time that we all bonded not as "Mother & Daughters" though as "BEST FRIENDS & WOMEN". I never realized how much we have in common w/ these women who have been in OUR LIFE all of OUR LIVES.
"Mother and daughter relationships are complex because the daughter looks to her mother as a role model of what a woman is. As she grows up and sees other woman who live their lives differently, she chooses between imitating her mother or other significant influences in her life. As an adolescent she may come to look down on her mother and think that other woman are much better. Of course she is not a fully grown woman so she does not understand the challenges and choices that her mother faces. It is only when she herself becomes a woman that she can fully appreciate her mother."
We traded recipes, talked about what we have accomplished in the present and what we wanted in the future & just got to know one another in a totally different level. These Women our Mothers are so extraordinary & we learned so much last night about every one of them as they learned about us.
To be a mother is not an easy task, yet you do it proudly everyday no matter what is asked. You have turned your babies into a beautiful young ladies. You were there for us since the very beginning and saved us countless tears. The pushy and wise advice you gave will carry us through the years. With our every mistake or wrongful deed, you were always there to understand. You put no limits on our dreams or anything else we wish to do. You never forgot to say you care or that you love us. The smile and tears upon your faces when we achieved a dream provided us with more value in our hearts then you’d ever believe. There is no other person that will shape our hearts the way you’ve done, your job finished perfectly for your precious daughters. We have had a rocky roads through triumphs and catastrophes, hard times and despair, though not a single moment of time of not having our wonderful mothers there. You have always put in your last with love and our whole lives is not enough time for us to repay you. We always put our disagreements to the side and managed to make it through. We know while growing up we drove you crazy but you have guided us with assurance along the way. You have given us comfort and certainty with every breath we take.
Your little girls are all grown up but your baby girl will always remain deep inside us.
I honestly think they still saw us as the little girls wearing Pig Tails playing w/ Barbies that they use to take to Cheer leading, Dance Class & Girl Scouts.
Though most of us are now: Professionals, Wives & Mothers as they are. Experiencing the same struggles that they once in incurred while building their lives as we are all doing now.
As I was sitting there sipping on wine & hearing us all talk the song "Umbrella" by Rihanna came on the radio which was quite interesting when everyone stopped talking and started singing this song. Because it is so True especially because of the bond we have.
