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...

Brown Tears

By
I prefer the color purple rather than the color pink. Purple is the color I like the most because I think it is beautiful. A month ago my son revealed his color preference and I wasn't prepared. It has taken me some time to think about whether I would write about this topic or not as it is pretty sensitive but in the end I feel like not writing about it would bring a constant nagging that would be hard to escape. About a month ago, my oldest son, Desmond asked me to place my hand up against his hand and I did not understand why. He analyzed his hand and mine and proceeded to say, "I wish I had you and Omari's color brown." My heart betrayed me and stopped. All my senses went numb. I couldn't believe what my wonderfully made son just said. I asked him why he felt that way and he said that my brown and his brother's brown was a better brown because it's lighter. I pushed past the ringing in my ear and lovingly asked him if someone at school was saying mean ...

Heart of the Matter - Pt. 2

By
In my last post I wrote about an issue I'm having with my health. Do we know what that issue is yet? No. The results came back regarding my heart and all is well. I have a healthy heart! I am so glad that those results were negative. However, the question still remains. What is going on with my body? I had a follow-up appointment with my primary care doctor last week and they advised that my latest blood test showed that my C-reactive protein levels and my sedimentation rate was really high. Which indicates that there is inflammation in my body. They are not sure what is causing the inflammation so they want me to follow up with the Rheumatologist. This is not the first time that I've heard that my C-reactive protein is high. Years ago, I was under the care of a different primary care doctor. I presented with the same issues and he did a blood test and said my C-reactive protein was high. He suggested I see an infectious disease doctor. Results for those tests (i.e  Lyme diseas...
