Celia

So I decided that the first set of my blogs is going to be about my kids.  They will each get their own post and I will do them on different days.  I don't want to half ass the last one because I'm tired of writing.  lol   I'm going to go oldest to youngest to make it easier and this little piece will be at the beginning of each one in case you come in reading on one of the other kids names first.  :)


So we start with Celia.  At this point in time she is 13 1/2 and a true teen.  lol   Tears come easy but always have with her.  I met Celia when she was 2 years and 3 months old.  Being her step mom I find a little comfort in this since when it comes to her life with her dad there is very little that she will remember that doesn't include me.  I am a big part of the memories that deal with this side of the family.  I didn't come in at 5 years or 10 years.  I think that this made being her "mom" easier.  I didn't have to fight to get that respected title.  She called me mom a whole lot earlier then I anticipated but that's what her dad wanted.  I of course had no problem with it as long as she was comfortable with it.  Now it's not even an issue...I am mom even if I did not have the privilege of carrying or birthing her...although I'm okay with that.  LOL

Celia is a sweet, sarcastic and funny girl.  She does not bend to peer pressure at all and has a strong head on her shoulders.  She doesn't care if you think she's acting stupid or childish or silly.  If she wants to give herself a new name and dance around feel free to stare she doesn't give a crap.  :)   I love that about her...she isn't in a hurry to grow up.  She is ADDICTED to her cell phone and facebook.  It's funny being on the adult side and seeing what technology has done for friendship.  When I was a kid you called your friend or went over to visit.  Now at her age you have constant connection to your friends and they become a huge part of your life.  Celia is a great friend.  She loves each of her friends dearly and I have never heard her talk bad about a friend and then seemingly be nice to their face.  She will tell you if you pissed her off and is very honest about what makes her mad.  She is also super talkative with her friends which tends to get her in some trouble in class but she is working on it...there's a time and place for friends and school class time is not it.  lol

Celia has a huge family.  On her mother's side she has 3 sisters and on her dad's side (us) she has 3 brothers.  She is happy with that.  She has a girl household and a boy household.  She is the oldest of a total of 7 kids in both families.  She can be like any other sister picking on the little ones but when I'm in my room I often hear her playing with her brothers being silly, making videos with the camera or her phone.  Her brothers love her a lot and even tho' she isn't a little kid anymore sometimes when girl toys come on TV the boys want to get that for "sissy".  :)   She is also EXTREMELY lazy.  lol   She will be the first to admit this.  I recently found out she actually asked her cat to make her a sandwich.  lol  I just hope she didn't think it was actually going to happen.  :)   She loves to stay up late and sleep in late.  If she had her way she would go to bed at 1am and get up at lunch.  I often let her sleep in until 11am at the latest because I remember being really tired as a teen and honestly if I could sleep for 11 hours and stay asleep I might do that sometimes too.  :)  

Celia has a very unique and cute fashion sense.  Considering I have birthed all boys and I am the only female in this house maybe her style is the norm for girls her age but I find that she is not trying to dress in the shortest dress or tightest low cut shirt.  Besides a couple pair of shorts this last summer I have no issues with her clothes.  lol  She does however have the longest legs and shorts are going to be an issue with waist and length.  lol   She loves characters...Hello Kitty, Domo, Mario.  She even has a couple shirts from the boys section because they have the Yoshi or transformers she likes.  And she always manages to look cute not like the kid that has no clue.  She loves winter hats and has a ton.  I believe part of it is to not have to deal with her hair.  lol  She loves having her hair straight and although she looks good no matter if her hair is straight or curly she looks amazing when she straightens her hair all the way. 

She is becoming a beautiful, smart and amazing young woman and even tho' these teen years are going to be "fun" (lol)  I am so happy to be a part of her life.  I love her and always will.  I can't wait to see who she becomes.  :)
