I Thought I Would Never Do It

By
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 I see a ladies getaway in my near future. Or maybe I will just buy these shoes!

Whatever the case, I've got to stay sane so I can continue to be a supportive wife and a nurturing mother.

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to list some of the things I said I would not do that I now do.
  • Extended TV viewing
  • Go to bed without a meal (sometimes he is so tired after playing he goes right to sleep. He won't wake up for dinner)
  • Eat microwaveable food
  • Let the dog lick all over Desi
  • Put juice in his water (so he can grow to like water)
  • Go to bed without a bath 
  • Make Desi go to bed earlier just because I was tired
  • Eat off of Desi's plate and drink after him
  • Allow Desi to eat off my plate
*Please note that these things only happen sporadically. Neither myself or my husband make a habit out of doing these things.*

 These are some of the things I can remember. What are some things you said you wouldn't do that you now do?

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...

Heart of the Matter

By
I am sick and do not know why. I have been dealing with some serious symptoms. I have always dealt with extreme fatigue but in the past 2 years it has become nearly debilitating. I find it hard to do simple things like grocery shopping or doing chores around the house or walking up the steps or putting my clothes on. I experience extreme fatigue with these activities and it usually takes me a day or two to recoup. I have dizziness, and heart palpitations. I have recently experienced chest pain. It wasn't until I started having chest pains during sex when I decided it was time to take a visit to the doctor. My doctor advised that this could be something related to my heart. Since visiting the doctor, I have had blood tests that show I am healthy and I recently did a stress test and 2D Echo that showed my heart was fine. I immediately felt like a fool and quickly reasoned that this was possibly in my head. I have an angiogram scheduled for tomorrow but I don't think anything will...

Worried Father

By
The other day, Desi, my husband and myself were at my cousin's house visiting her and her two beautiful baby girls. Of course, all of the toys there were girly toys. Okay, so you get where I'm going with this right? The grown ups were talking in the kitchen when, all of a sudden, Desi runs in holding a Dora doll and a barbie doll. My poor husband was visibly horrified by the scene. I gave him that reassuring look and when Desi left, I said, "honey, it's okay. He doesn't know any different." Chris shook his head and disapprovingly said, "No, honey, those are dolls. He's playing with dolls."  My cousin and I just laughed. At Desi's age, a little boy playing with "girlie" toys is not really an issue. They are attracted to the colors. Also, look at the circumstances, he was in a house full of chicks. At home, he is all into his cars, airplanes and trains. Desi is fine and so are all the other little boys in the world that may be attra...
