Silver Lining

Desi is getting better everyone!!! He is still a little congested so we have been spraying some saline solution in his nose to clear it up. He is back at daycare with all of his little friends, so all is well.

Anyway, the post is really about my experience with Desi on the ride to daycare every morning. One word...HILARIOUS.

I drive Desi to daycare every morning. This is what goes on in the car on our way there.

Desi: MOMMY!
Me: Yes Desi?
Desi: Hungee! Foodt.
Me: Hold on Desi
Desi: MOMMY! Goldfish.
Me: I don't have goldfish right now Desi
Desi: Mommy! Nana!
Me: You ate the banana already baby boy
Desi: No, nana!
Me: No Desi
Desi: Mulk mommy, mulk
Me: Hold on Desi, mommy is driving. Wail 'til I stop at a light and I will get you your milk.
Desi: Okay mommy...mulk mommy!
Me: Desi, what did I say?
Desi: Peas?
Me: No Desi wait a sec

*this goes on the whole car ride sometimes*

So yesterday, I tried something new. I ignored him after a while. Here is the conversation.

Desi: Nana Mommy!
Me: Hold on Desi
Desi: Okay mommy...nana mommy.
Me: Alright Desmond
Desi: Turn on mommy!
Me: The music is on Desi
Desi: No mommy! TURN ON!
Me: (I turn up music)
Desi: Thankum...mulk mommy!
Me: Here (give him milk)
Desi: (3 seconds later) all done. Here mommy!
Me: Desi I am driving. Hold on to it please.
Desi: Okay mommy...here mommy. All done!
Me: (irritated by this point) Give it here Desmond
Desi: Mommy hungee! Goldfish
Me: (ignoring)
Desi: Mommy fooodt. Fooodt mommy. Goldfish?
Me: (ignoring)
Desi: Mommy...mommy....mommy? MOMMY!
Me: (irritated) Yes Desmond
Desi: So happy!
Me: (melting) Aww, Desi! Mommy is so glad that you are happy. Aww, baby that is great!
Desi: Yeah, so happy mommy

That was definitely the silver lining!!! I have never heard him express himself that way so I was just delighted. Let's just say I was no longer irritated. He really knows how to win me over! LOL!

Night Night!

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

Self Discovery

By
I just discovered something about myself. I am not as confident in myself as I thought I was. I went to dinner with my cousin and a few other family members the other night. We were discussing each other's personality. My beautiful and very talented cousin mentioned that I am one that second guesses myself. She then gives an example. She asked me to set up the gift baskets for her product line (Endless Touch). I take on the task and proceed to ask her how she would like it set up. Although it is nice that I asked, but she was extremely busy. I should have just taken the initiative and dressed those baskets up with confidence. She is 100% right and hearing her say it out loud confirmed my suspicions about myself. It was all clear. When she asked me to set those baskets up, I had an idea of how I would have liked it to look, but I didn't believe that idea would be received well, so I asked for her vision instead. This is just an example on a smaller scale. Not only do I do this
