"If I had only realized how beautiful I really was, I wouldn't have let it all go." **sigh** How do I stop my daughters from doing these things, too? Ohhhhh..... why oh why don't they tell you these things in a class?? We should start a class and call it BEFORE YOU HAVE KIDS, THINK OF THIS and we can tell the TRUTH about being parents. Not the getting up all hours of the night stuff they tell you in sex ed classes. That stuff seems so pud now. I mean the constant worry and wonder. <BR/><BR/>I hate to say it, but I am glad that as a youngster I didn't journalize. VERY GLAD. It would depress me more than I already am, I fear.nikkis30by30https://www.blogger.com/profile/03442782590631563456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-42185838317552196932007-05-23T10:07:00.000-05:002007-05-23T10:07:00.000-05:00Unmerry go-round indeed! That's it exactly. Ahhh...Unmerry go-round indeed! That's it exactly. Ahhhh, I recognize myself in this diary entry, and in the past and future it narrates. Thank god for strict moms--even if mine was mostly strict in the indoctrinating a strong moral sense, sense. (I had a free run of time and space, but was really uptight. Thanks Mom!).<BR/><BR/>I look at Miss Baby and I think, "How do I help her not go through that too?"<BR/><BR/>I wonder if we all have to go through it, but the best we can hope for is to have the coping skills to make it out the other side not too scarred?Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812707312289852258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-89396950790013344622007-05-22T17:45:00.000-05:002007-05-22T17:45:00.000-05:00That's one reason reading my diaries is so depress...That's one reason reading my diaries is so depressing. All broken hearts and falling in love. No middle ground. Lots of skipped days when I was on middle ground. Broken hearts and fresh love. One good thing about marriage, stopping that unmerry-go-round.Melanie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01542313652003967176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-54873994974362000072007-05-22T16:35:00.000-05:002007-05-22T16:35:00.000-05:00I call them diaries too!

A lot of mine were all about boys and how this one or that one broke my heart! :) Lessons learned!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441176684416139172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-3094769163923587772007-05-22T11:12:00.000-05:002007-05-22T11:12:00.000-05:00If you do figure it out let me know!

I agree with you that being comfortable in your own skin is important, too. One of my devotions this morning (by the way I really like the book you gave me at Christmas)was that God doesn't make mistakes when he forms us. Very timely.Jacqnielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00441528320125033369noreply@blogger.com
