Your Mama loves you...

Ok, I have to admit it

I'm having fun with Madame Styx

finally letting her out of the dark where I had her locked away

 

She now has free reign in her own digs over at

MadameStyx.com and  https://www.facebook.com/madamestyx

(see how I snuck those in?)

 

What I didn't count on was how EXPOSED I feel having her out there

Like standing-in-middle-of-highway-in-underwear-during-rushhour-picking-nose exposed

I've also discovered that she is so much better than I am

She seems confident, wise and loving

She tries to see the good or lessons in everything

And she has a way of gently telling me to hush when she's tumbling onto the page

and I'm telling her she's full of baloney

and that she's wrong, nobody cares or whatever other negative thing I can toss at her

(I wonder if this is how split personalities develop?)

 

But I've also discovered a good thing

That during crazy life patches she pops into my head 

either making me laugh or giving me another perspective

I've warned my family that they should be very careful what they do or say 

if they don't want to see themselves over in the Madame's kingdom

So after a battle of wills with The Kid this morning

As I drove grinding down my molars reminding myself how much I love him regardless

the Madame presented this image in my head

and all was good

I promise I won't be posting many of the Styx here

but I had to share this one

because each year I print my blog

and The Kid doesn't know it yet but 

I'm leaving him the printed My Quest in my will

so much better than money (heehee)

and one day he can read this as he sits in his fishing boat and remember

Kid, it doesn't matter what you think, do, or say

Your Mama loves you no matter what
