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...

So Emotional

By
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!

By
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...
