For years, Mama dreamt of this world and how it could potentially change her life. But she was always scared, because she had always heard how bad it hurt and how much work it was to make this baby grow up big and healthy and strong. So Mama, just adopted little things here and there, never feeling fulfilled and never having one to call her own.
Late last year, Mama decided the time was right. She saved money, she found the perfect partner and she went out and did it. That's right folks, Mama went to Real Estate School. Mama learned quickly that this was going to be a long, painful and expensive process, but she was determined, after all, it was her dream. The seed was planted into her brain and to her delight the seed grew and grew. It constantly kicked and twirled and did somersaults in her brain and she loved every minute of it.
The day finally came when the doctor was going to find out if this baby was ready to be born yet. Oh, Mama was SO scared. She did everything she could to make sure that the doctor gave her the go ahead. Finally that word popped up on the testing screen....PASSED!!!
Wow, Mama thought to herself, this is really going to happen. But now, she knew she had to search for the perfect place to deliver the baby. She interviewed place after place after place. Each place offering different training, different methods and even charged different fees. When Mama walked in the door of one small office with a big name, she knew she was "home". She was welcomed in with open arms, they offered great training, the other people that delivered there gave raving reviews and the fees were very reasonable. Mama decided this was the place.
It still took a little time for Mama to cultivate this little thing, since the state requires some extra classes just to make sure she was ready. But finally, after 20 years of dreaming and lots of planning, Mama has finally gone into labor. She officially joined her new home today. She felt nothing but pure bliss as she sat down at the table, signed the paperwork and put it in the envelope. It will take a couple of weeks for the state to deliver what she has been waiting for, but she's certain it's worth the wait.
Mama is ready for the next adventure and is not scared of all the hard work, learning, rejection, and moths of eating PB&J. She knows that she will give it everything she has and one day, her "baby" will take care of her.
Stay tuned for more about Mama, the birth of her "baby" and how both Mama and the baby learn, grow, hate each other, love each other and hopefully meet in the middle someday.
