Long Time

By
It has been a long time since I've blogged. To be honest, I kinda lost interest for a few months. I guess it may have been because no one was reading it. I just happened to look at it today and it sparked up an interest again. I realized how much I just really like writing. So to heck with it. I'm gonna write. I don't care if no one will ever read it. With all that said, let's talk about motherhood.

Desmond is 1 1/2 years old! He is busy as ever. He loves playing outdoors, especially in the rain. He says,  "Outside Mommy! Pay, I want pay!" Now who can say no to that? Oh! Wait Wait! I gotta share this first before I go any further. Two days ago, I came home with Desi (after picking him up from daycare). We walked in the house and he greeted our dog as usual. Then he yelled "D-A-A-D-Y!" I told him daddy wasn't home yet. He looked at me and said, "baketball?" How did he know that? Yes, my husband was out playing basketball. But how did he know. I didn't tell him that. What in the world? I was so shocked and amazed. LOL! He knows more than what I think he does. Okay, one more thing. I made some soup for Desi because he had a cold. I put a little cayenne pepper in it to draw out the cold. Anyway, Desi was eating it and he said, "picy?" I told him that it wasn't too spicy, but in my head I'm like, how do you know that word and how do you know what it means? Once again, I was shocked and amazed. LOL! I told my husband and he said that Desi has heard us talk about how spicy certain foods were on other occasions and maybe that's where he got it from. He was amazed with the fact that Desi knew what spicy was though.

I feel like there so much to say. It's been a long time and so many new and amazing things have happened. I feel like I am finally getting my groove back! I am working on my weight and I am starting to fit into some of my clothes. I am looking good (tooting my own horn)! I am continuing to find that balance between being a mother, a wife and finding time for me. Sometimes it's a challenge. I urge the motherhood to take some time out for yourself. It's so important. My cousin was the one that helped whip me back in shape. She called me one night back in April and said, "um, don't get mad when I tell you this Esha. You kinda lost your swag since you've had the baby." Now my cousin is a mother of two, so if she was saying I lost my "swag," she was telling the truth. It was funny though because I thought to myself, "wow, I had swag? I didn't even know!" LOL! I can laugh at it now, but when she said it then, it brought me to tears because I knew I had lost myself. I couldn't find that balance. I was all about being a mom and wife. I forgot about me. My cousin took me out that next weekend for food and drinks and she told me that I needed to make sure to schedule my pedi and mani and have a little "me time." Since then, I have been making sure that I have some "me time" or a girls night out. I'm back baby! In full effect! LOL! I am feeling good and I am feeling sexy. Thanks cuzzo! LOL!

Please share how you found your balance and what suggestions would you give to those who haven't found it yet?

Well that will be all. I am going to shut it down. I am not feeling well today, so I need some rest. Until next time!

      It's almost bittersweet. It's great to see them learn and apply new things, but you kinda feel their dependence slipping away slowly.

Who Are You My Beloved?

By
After watching a series of Iyanla Fix My Life episodes I felt compelled to write a post about who I am as a woman. Have I truly explored that question? Who is Aisha? I have all these parts that make up the whole but what is the whole? Let's break it down by the parts first. A part of me is: 1. A wife 2. A mom 3. A daughter 4. A sister These positions in life add to who I am. Now WHO AM I at my core? Here is what I am discovering: I am a woman who has a great deal of love and respect for Jehovah God. This is the biggest part of who I am. How I move in life, whether it be spiritually,  physically,  emotionally or mentally, is wrapped up in my relationship with Jehovah. I am a woman who cares about the well being of others and is moved to help where necessary. I do not like to be overbearing and I am very sensitive to others feelings. I am observant and intuitive. At times I can be proactive and at other times I can be reactive and I am okay with that. I am a woman that lo...

Let's Play?

By
I think I have lost my ability to play. Many times I wonder where my imagination has gone. I admire those moms that can think of myriads of play activities. I can't think of a single one. So when I say to Desi, "Wanna play with mommy?" When he says "yes" (sometimes he will say "no mommy") I am thinking, "okay what should we do?" I get slight anxiety. LOL! We'll run around and play with cars, but I'm not sure if that is enough. I guess I can google activities to do with a 1 1/2 year old, but shouldn't this come naturally? I don't know why this is an issue to be honest. I feel pretty silly even writing about it but I am hoping I am not the only one in the motherhood feeling this way.  Case in point, Desi and I were playing at the park the other day. He goes to sit down in the mulch and he says to me, "sit mommy, sit." I sit with him and start wondering what should we do. So I pick up two sticks and we have a stick f...

It's Bedtime!

By
I love the bedtime routine we have set out for Desi. He gets his bath and a good rub down. We say a prayer with daddy and we read 2 books. The first book is always "My Book of Bible Stories" and the second book is "The Snuggliest Snuggle in the World." I bought the second book for Desi when I was 3 months pregnant and I just knew and felt that it was going to be his favorite book. Mommy's intuition did not steer her wrong! He loves the book! He really gets into the voices I make for each character, we point out colors and animals. He will turn the page and when the story is over I say, "The end. Okay close the book Desi." He will, then, close the book. I tell him night night and we go over to the light switch. I tell him to turn the light off and he turns the light off. A moon is projected on the wall so we say goodnight to the moon and I turn on the heartbeat sound on the projector. He gives mommy a hug and I put him in his crib. He holds my hand unti...
