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

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...
