Hi, my name is Mikki, rather it's my nickname. I don't know what my parents were thinking when they named me. It was the 'hippie era' when I was conceived, so maybe they did a little too much in experimentation. Who knows. I was to be named after my father, which I was to a degree, because they thought I would be a boy. They were truly shocked when I was not.
I have three girls that are 22, 18, and 17. No grandchildren yet and I'm not pushing it either. I already feel old as it is and I don't want to feel any older. I also want them to live their life and not grow up as fast as I did. I ended up in a bad relationship when I was 17 and dude (trying to be nice) was 23. He took a lot from me and it has taken me many years and counseling to get through it. During the whole ordeal, I found out exactly who my true friends were.
Today, I am not the same person I used to be. I have grown a lot wiser over the years and don't take any crap. It is still hard for me to trust people. I used to hide my feelings and keep my personal life private. Now I'm an open book. If someone has the guts to ask the question, I , by golly, have an answer.
I am down to earth, extremely patient, and too nice. Sometimes I wonder if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I get along with everyone until I'm crossed or until I figure them out (which doesn't take long). I'm just a person young at heart and enjoy having fun at every chance I get.
I think I've rambled enough for now. I'll post Part 2 shortly.

Hi Mikki, I have two girls 20 and 18 and then a boy 16 so we are experiencing kid things in a lot of the same ways right now. Parenting never gets easier, it just gets different. It's taken me this long to go back to school, but I now feel I finally have the time to commit to it. Don't feel old!! By your pictures, you certainly don't look it. I'm going to be 50 in a few months and I want to make 50 a great year for me. I'm finding that as my kids get older and more independent, I'm feeling a true sense of freedom. Better to be getting older, than not!
ReplyDeleteHi Student writer. By the way, and I know this will sound dumb, but who is this? You're name isn't displayed at the bottom like everyone else's. I hear you about parenting. I asked when my kids hit the terrible two stage when did it get better and they told me it doesn't. It just gets worse. But it's all good. They are my best friends and I wouldn't change being their mother for anything in the world.
