Rachel's Sweet Comments and My Thoughts

This morning while I was nursing the baby, Rachel came over and tenderly placed a blanket on the baby. Then she looked at me and said, "You are beautiful mom. You are such a good milk maker." I said, "a good milk maker, huh?" Then Rachel replied, "Well, you are a good cookie maker too."

I am glad that she thinks I am beautiful because she looks exactly like me. I have always felt sorry in a rather apologetic way for that. I never wanted my kids to look like me. Regardless of what John and I look like, I have always hoped that my daughters would all look like Nicole Kidman and that my boys would all look like Matt Damon. Of course that is a silly hope. I don't think I am pretty at all, and I know that John does not think he is handsome at all, but our children are awfully cute. It is too bad they have to grow up to look like us. Oh, but I do think I am a good cookie maker, although this is too bad too because I need quit eating my delicious chocolate chip cookies.

:) It's good to know she knows what's most important. Milk & Cookies. And you're right, your children are adorable.

I recently discovered that it's a commandment to love oursevles. We are all beautiful. You also have to remember that movie stars put a lot of money and effort into their looks so they can get work. Rachel is beautiful and so are you, so stop it, Diane!
