The Other Side of Me

I did a layout today of my daughter posing beside a Hannah Montana cut out at a department store. I was having a hard time coming up with a title so I decided to look up the titles to Hannah Montana songs. "The Other Side of Me" seemed to fit so perfectly with the pictures and with my little girl. On one side my daughter is a Diva, a Girly Girl, an actress, a singer, a dancer, and a soccer player. On the other side she still loves her paci (yes I know she's 4), she loves to be rocked and carried, would rather sleep with mom and dad than in her own bed, she also loves to be told that she's still our baby. As I was listing the two sides of my daughter I started wondering if there was more than one side to me? Know what I discovered...I'm not as one dimensional as I thought. There's the side of me that's the wife, I take care of the house and pay the bills, I make sure dinner is ready when my husband comes home. I listen to him talk about his day and tell him how proud I am of everything he accomplishes. I cheer him on in basketball, golf and tennis. I laugh with him when he starts rocking out playing Guitar Heros, I cry with him when life throws us a curve ball, I lay on his stomach and watch every reality show he wants to watch and I love him. I'm a mother to a beautiful little girl, I kiss her boo-boos, I wipe her tears, I read her stories and brush her Barbie's hair. I volunteer in her class and chauffeur her to ballet, swim class, soccer and tee ball. I watch princess movies over and over again and I love every minute of it. I am a friend who wouldn't be able to bail you out of jail because I'd be sitting right beside you!!! And last, but not least, I'm ME!!! I love flavored coffee, Diet Coke, chocolate cake (to go with the Diet Coke), chick flicks, boy bands, 80's music...all of it, lip liner, Hardee's chocolate milk shakes, my Dooney giraffe print handbag, fun and funky print pj's, bad reality t.v. shows, any craft ever invented although my true love is scrapbooking, and chatting with my friends on-line. Who knew I had so many sides, not me!!!!
