those moms

I have given a lot of thought to what type of mom I would like to be. I love Laney and Alie's company, and I certainly want to be their friend as well as their mom. I don't want to be one of those moms who thinks that she's 16 when she's 40. I want to instill in the girls the importance of hard work, dedication, and passion. I want to be seen as their mom. I don't want to one of those moms who lets themselves go as they get more involved in their childrens lives. I want to be a mom, a daughter, a wife, etc. and play all of those roles equally. I want Delaney and Alison to have fun and I want them to see me having fun. I want there to be plenty of "adults" in their lives that they can turn to when they "hate" me or Carl. I want those people to know and understand our values, but still to seem "cool" enough to the girls. I think each person has their own idea of what a "perfect" mom is, and hopefully I will be able to live up to my own standards.
