Me a Mommy? Maybe. Or Then Again, Maybe Not.

At my age, there is a good chance that I may never be a mom. In the past, I would have cringed at the thought of not being a mom. Those days are over. Right now, I’m actually okay with a child-free future. I guess since I’m not around any kids, and haven’t been for several years now, I am not exposed to their kindness, innocence or generous natures. I just see them yelling and screaming and throwing tantrums. I also see my teenaged sister (half-sister) who has grown up with an outrageous sense of entitlement that is only rivaled by her even more massive ego and selfishness.

When I think about kids nowadays, I don’t get all warm and fuzzy and it’s not just the kids, it’s the moms too. In fact, it’s more about the moms than it is about the kids. I see frazzled, frustrated and stressed moms who brag about not having 15 minutes to themselves. I see women who consider it a badge of honor not to be able to get their hair done or even take a bath because their kids demand every single second of their time. And when the kids go to bed, they are just too tired to do anything.

This is not a life I want to lead or even aspire to.

I have 41 years invested in me. I like me. I like my life. I wouldn’t mind a kid if he could be a part of my life (albeit a very big part). I know, if I was a mom, my child would be my first priority but does he have to be my second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh priority as well? Yes, a child should and would change my life but I don't want a kid if it means I have to give up my life entirely.

While I’m on my mom rant, let me say this, I’m not a mom and I may not ever be a mom but that doesn’t mean I’m not a woman! Woman and mom are not synonymous. I had been reading about this You Tube video that Sarah Palin did. It was supposed to be about how ‘women’ were going to take back the Republican party. I decided to check it out. Well, it wasn’t about women, it was about moms. I guess I can’t really be a woman if I haven’t pushed out a baby or at least got one from somebody else who pushed one out.

Simpin' and Pimpin'

Over the weekend, the girls and I met for brunch. The service was horrible but we had a good time. Afterwards, we headed over to the mall to kill some time. Once that mission was accomplished, we headed back to my car.

As we approach the car, Angela notices a Plymouth Neon (like the one pictured) parked next to me. The license plate holder read, “I’d Rather Be Pimpin.” We were getting a good laugh out of it, when I said that if I had a pen and paper, I’d leave him a note. Immediately, Cherry reached down into her purse and pulled out both a pen and a small notepad.

This is the note I left under his windshield wiper:

“You’d rather be pimpin’? Really? You’re in a Plymouth Neon! What kind of pimp rolls in a Neon? And, you’ve got your university decal across your window! Pimp? Puh-leeze. Stay in school and get your education.”

I wish I could have seen that playa’s face when he read it! LOL!

I truly cannot foresee the circumstances that would force me out on the stroll. However, if it ever came to that, you’d better be sure I wouldn’t be handing over my cash to a dude in a NEON.
