Live, Laugh, Pray, Love Mommy

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

I am sick and tired of this weight issue of mine!!! Since having Desi, I have been feeling so sick. Severe fatigue (to point I have to, literally, crawl up the stairs), dizziness, nausea, pain in my joints. So I finally went to my primary doc who, in turn, had me go to some specialists. Long story short, blood work and everything has come out fine, but the basic issue is that I am FAT! LOL! I mean that's basically what the docs were saying to me. "Yes, all looks fine. The real problem is that you're FAT!" That's all I heard at these past doc appointments. I gained so much weight when I was preggers with Desi (like 40+ lbs). I didn't eat anything crazy. I just wanted full meals at each sitting (including snacks) and I didn't stay active. I am paying for it now. My weight is weighing me down. I MUST get these pounds off so I can start feeling better. I have to lose 50lbs! I know I can do it, it's just not going to happen overnight. I have to stay focus

I had a really bad day today at work. I would go into detail, but that would probably come back and bite me in the butt. Let's just say that I was highly irritated and so overly joyed that 4:15 pm rolled around when it did because I didn't think I was going to make it. Coming home to my family after work is so refreshing and such a blessing. It helps me to see the bigger picture, which shows that there is more to life than your 9-5! My beautiful baby boy greeted at the door with a big hug and my loving husband greeted me with a wonderful kiss. Most funniest moment of the evening was trying to get Desi to take his medicine (he's fighting a little bug). Chris, my husband, says, "Okay, so I am gonna come up with a little concoction since Desi won't  drink this by itself." It was hilarious because we were trying to hide what we were doing from Desi. Chris mixed Desi's cherry medicine with apple juice. Chris handed Desi the drink and said excitedly, "Desi,

As Desi's vocabulary continues to grow, he continues to say the cutest little things. Here is a recent conversation I had with him: Me: Desi are you done eating? Desi: Yes sir Me: Okay, so before you get up we need to wash your hands and face okay? Desi: Yes sir I want to melt every he says "yes sir." He got this from my husband. Anytime Desi calls for Chris' (my hubby) attention, Chris says, "yes sir?" So now Desi says it to me when I ask him a question or when I ask him to do something. For example, I would say, "Desi put your toys away please." He says, "yes sir." Hilarious right?! You gotta love these moments. You can't get them back. Well that's about all I wanted to say. I don't have the energy to say anything else other than good night! 

Hello to everyone in the motherhood! Before I had Desi, I made a conscious decision not to allow him to watch hours and hours of TV. Today (and a few other days last week) that decision does not even exist because I am not feeling well and Caillou and football seems to be the only 2 things that please him right now. Will this ruin him? Not in the slightest. Will I make this a habit? No, not at all. I still want to put a limit on TV time because I feel that there are better things to do than to stay glued to the TV and it allows the family to spend some quality time together. Today, however, will be TV day because I don't have the energy or the patience. I mean I really want to "zone out" right about now. I am sure you all can feel me on that one. My nail polish is chipped on both my finger nails and my toe nails, I need to shave, I need to pluck my brows, I need some pampering. I mean, thank goodness my hair is done! Lol! I love, love, love my little munchkin, but I think
