Blind Side

I am sure everybody has heard Sandra’s speech about her beloved husband (who turned out to be a DBag), but at the time it was a really sweet and a heartfelt thing to say about him, how he had her Blind Side. I have realized I am one lucky lady.....I not only have a husband (who is NOT a DBag), but I also have several ladies in my life who all have my Blind Side. It feels amazing and words on a blog can not express how I feel about every one of them (and even if I don't mention you on this blog, I still <3 you). They know who they are and how much I love them. Tonight I received an award at the AJFD Board Meeting....in front of an audience….gasp!!!!! For those of you who know me, know I HATE being in front of an audience.....I almost peed my pants.

BUT......

I love how one Green-Eyed Lady is VERY protective of me if anybody says anything remotely bad about me or the work I do, she goes into full blown Mama Bear Mode. She loves me so much she even made me go to the Board Meeting tonight and accept an award for creating our new website (http://www.ajfire.org/). This lady is so special, it feels amazing to have her stand by me in every situation, even if I don't want to stand in them (i.e. like in front of an audience at a Board Meeting)!

I love how even though one Brown-Eyed Girl is about ready to pop, chases around a baby girl that could steal anybody's heart, and teaches 6 year olds all day still wants to hang out with me and her "niece" because she loves us, even though she would rather sleep.  What an Angel she is to do everything she does and still be an amazing friend.  Even though she won't find out the sex of the child growing in her belly to appease me...I still love her! She is also just as excited as me to go see a fabulous movie with me and only me on May 27, 2010.….can’t wait for that!

I love how one Blueish Greenish-Eyed Girl can laugh and laugh and laugh with me even when I do something stupid like forget my ID on our special date night. Which of course meant we couldn’t get into any bar to celebrate our evening out. She loves me so much she still got up early the next day to keep me company in her bikini at the AJ Pool....even though it was hotter than heck....all for the name of love.

I love how my Peacock-Blue Eyed Mama counts on me to help her with mundane things and can’t go a day without seeing me or my baby girl…..she is my hero and always will be. I am proud to have come from her womb and I will hopefully be just like her when I grow up.

Of course I love MY Blue-Eyed Girl and how even though it was the most boring thing she probably ever sat through....she stayed with me at the Board Meeting just so I could see a friendly face in the audience.  Did I mention I wanted to vomit in my mouth because I was nervous?  I also love how when I was up front of the audience posing for pictures, the only face I could see in the crowd was her and only her. She was smiling away because she loves me.  Also, this little lady is a VERY good politician...right now she is fighting for the rights of hamsters everywhere.

I love how my Blue-Eyed Boy is always proud of me and still thinks I am the hottest thing since sliced bread....even when I don't have my eyebrows drawn on.  He takes care of our family and works his butt off so he can spoil the crap out of us, sometimes I forget to tell him how proud I am of him. He is my forever and I am the luckiest girl because of him and only him.

When I was up in front of the audience receiving my award tonight....I wanted to Single White Female Sandra Bullock and thank all of these people for having my Blind Side, but I didn't give a speech.  I was too busy trying not to pee in my pants and vomit in my mouth at the same time, however, if I did pee and vomit at the same time the BEST part is.....these people would still have my back!
