Long Time

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!

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

Poop Catcher

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

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 ...

Food Fight!

My child won't eat dinner! Should I be offended? LOL! I mean, is my cooking that bad? He will nibble on the food and start playing with it. Next thing I know, it's on the floor and the dog is eating it, or Desi is sneaking the edibles under the tray of his high chair. Chris and I will tell him to eat and he turns his nose up and says a big "NO." We never had this problem with him before, so I don't know why he is not interested in eating all of a sudden. I am starting to worry a bit because I don't think he is getting all the nutrients he needs. However, a friend of mine told me that when her son was around Desi's age, she had the same issue with him. Her doctor told her not to worry. He told her that if she could get him to have a teaspoon of food per his age (2 teaspoons for a 2 year old), he will get all the nutrients he needs. I will try that, but, first, how am I going to get him to open up and eat the food? He's a pretty stubborn one. He got th...
