Last Thursday Boston and I went out to dinner with my family and the conversation got brought up out of me and my two sisters who was the "easiest child". My oldest sister, Alicia, insisted it was her when I chipped in that I was the best telling my mom to convince them it was me. Alicia said something along the lines that me and my friends were like the 'Mean Girls' in high school which I made the typical asinine comment that I was basically the 'Mother Theresa' of Preston. So that was a long lead to feel you in that I am the black sheep of my family.
My family is perfect. My parents are perfect, they never fight and they are nice and do everything they are supposed to. My sisters both have perfect little families with perfect church callings. I have one group of cousins who are literally so smart it's disgusting, they are all either graduated or close to being done with school leading to careers such as pharmacist, dentist, and a dr. Another group of cousins are like the Von-traps, all blonde and beautiful with perfect skin and teeth (Hitler would love them) and they all play various instruments. When I go to events and am surrounded by my perfect family I realize I am the black sheep, "there's Ashlynn with her baby without a dad.... there's Ashlynn whose shorts are usually a bit too ...oh you have to do a church talk on bad decisions? call Ashlynn.... I'm okay with being the black sheep to my perfect family because they are the only people who love me despite my flaws.
On the side note for the day Boston has began to be too attached to me. She literally doesn't like anyone else when I am around and wants me to hold her non stop. Its like we can never be close enough for her...Don't get me wrong, I love her and I love her attention but I need to help break this habit. Any suggestions would be so great. Are there any play groups we can join so she see's more kids? Let me know.

Is it too much to wish my baby was this size again?
You are not the 'black sheep' of the family we all make mistakes and to insinuate that my family, mom, and kevin, emily's family or other extended family are perfect is far from the truth. The truth is we all just sin differently. The sins that are made are just stepping stones to who we become. We can either learn from them or run from them. I have skeletons in my closet, a past I have to confront everyday. I chose not to let it define me.
