On being a Mom

I've read a quote on the internet saying something like this.. "Motherhood is learning about strenghts you didn't know you had, and dealing with fears you didn't know existed." When my daughter was conceived, although we had planned about this for a year, I did not have the confidence if I could be a perfect mom. Now she is already going to be 3...

Are we compatible?

I am into sun signs. I actually ask the person's sign and his birthdate just right on the first day we meet especially at work. It helps me analyze their characters so that I'd know how they basically think and I'd know how to treat them. I read about other signs' compatibility to mine (aries) so I thought of posting it here.
