Working Mother

By
Well, I have had a wonderful 8 months with my dear son. Now it is time for me to return to work. I am currently looking for a J-O-B now. It is so funny because I found myself diving into the endless pool of job listings on the web without thinking about the fact that I would need a babysitter before I can obtain a job. I deserve a big slap on the forehead for that one! I surely did not realize how hard it would be to find a suitable and affordable daycare provider for my little bambino. Shoot, I even considered becoming a daycare provider. I could make good money doing that and I wouldn't have to pay for daycare for my son. I am still considering, but maybe for the future. In the meantime, my sister said that she would be more than happy to watch him until I find something more permanent. I was definitely thankful to her for that. Until I find that job though, I will still get to enjoy my days with the little guy.

I am really excited to go back to work. Don't get me wrong, I love being with my son, but I am starting to feel anxious and unaccomplished. I find myself calling my husband on a daily basis saying to him that I feel like "I didn't do anything today." It'll be fun to do some "grown up" things for a few hours. It is going to be pretty interesting in the morning. Me and Chris trying to get ready for work with a 3rd person to think about. I know it can be done though. We work well as a team. I think things will go smoothly if we get some of Desi's things prepared the night before. I would love to hear from other mothers about their first time back at work since having their babies. Did you cry? Were you relieved? Etc.

Anyway, he finally crawled last night! Woo hoo!!!! It was amazing and, of course, I cried like a big time sap (so what, I have the right! LOL!). My husband and I were so excited. Our baby is growing up. It is so surreal. He is in his exploratory stage. I just can't get him to keep still! It is a whole new world out there for him to taste and see. To see things through his eyes is such a priviledge. It really helps me to remember to enjoy the simple things.

Alright, that's it for now. Night Night!

Poop Catcher

By
Hello!! I've been gone for a while, but for good reason. I was studying for my state exam for my insurance license. I passed! I am now licensed to write and sell auto and home policies. Woo hoo! So I got my life back. Hubby was so great during this time. He took care of everything and supported me tremendously. Now, Desi was supportive as well. He would join in on my studies. "Want to study with chew mommy," he would say. When I passed, he said "Good job mommy! So proud of you!" (of course daddy coached him). It just warmed my heart. Anyway,  I have to share this hilarious story with you all. One night, earlier last week, we are trying to get Desi to poop in the toilet.  He just refused to sit his little butt down on the seat. We knew he had to poop, so we really wanted him to get on the toilet. My husband was speaking with his mother on the phone and she heard the commotion. She suggested that we just let him go pamperless for the night before going to bed. T

So Emotional

By
I am all over the place this week. My emotions are running wild and my eating is out of control! No I'm not preggers, I'm just trying to put up with a visitor (ya'll know what I'm talking about). I wish I could take a vaca with myself during these times because I hate being around people. I can be mean. The men of my house experience my wrath more than anyone else. My poor Desi was so mad with me today because I was so impatient with him. He said, "tell my daddy on You! I told him to go on and tell his daddy. He just seems to pull on that nerve a little more around this time. Not only do I have to deal with a visitor today, I have to deal with allergies! My eyes are swollen, I can't breathe and I feel like if I sneeze one more time I'm gonna scream. With all of that being said, my poor baby didn't really have fun with mommy today. We fussed at each other all night. I felt like I wanted to cry because all I wanted was a little break and I couldn't

Self Discovery

By
I just discovered something about myself. I am not as confident in myself as I thought I was. I went to dinner with my cousin and a few other family members the other night. We were discussing each other's personality. My beautiful and very talented cousin mentioned that I am one that second guesses myself. She then gives an example. She asked me to set up the gift baskets for her product line (Endless Touch). I take on the task and proceed to ask her how she would like it set up. Although it is nice that I asked, but she was extremely busy. I should have just taken the initiative and dressed those baskets up with confidence. She is 100% right and hearing her say it out loud confirmed my suspicions about myself. It was all clear. When she asked me to set those baskets up, I had an idea of how I would have liked it to look, but I didn't believe that idea would be received well, so I asked for her vision instead. This is just an example on a smaller scale. Not only do I do this
