Who's The Adult Here?

Image
By

I did absolutely no adulting today. I woke up and my body said "No, no, honey NOT today." Apparently, I wasn't about that 'momlife' either because I didn't do anything with the kids. They pretty much entertained themselves. I mean, of course, I fed them and made them wash their faces and brush their teeth but Desi pretty much went on an electronic binge today. He shuffled from playing some Lego Marvel game on the Playstation to watching hours of Kids Youtube. He is literally still watching as I type this and he should seriously be in bed right now. I am just too tired to put the energy into making him get up to get ready for bed. I will get to that point in about 20 minutes though....I just want to milk this rebellious state of mind a little longer. And where is my baby Omari? Oh, he is just passed out on my lap. Lol! I didn't even have to tell him to go to sleep. He romped around and crashed a few cars and ate an extreme amount of snacks and pizza so he wore himself out.

I usually cook a wholesome meal on Sundays but my adult self said " nah girl, not happening." So my wonderful and understanding husband told me not to worry and ordered some pizza! Ok, yes I felt I tinge of guilt for my laziness but this is not the norm for me and, hey, everyone ate so...what? Normally I am ripping and running around this house making sure things are clean and everyone is alright. I convinced myself that I deserved this today. I caught up on all of my shows and did not worry about cleaning this and that and just sat peacefully in my PJs. I sat on my tail ALL day...in the same spot. If I get up now, I will surely see a lovely picture of my booty in my couch. Ha!!

Tomorrow is a new day though and I will be back on my adulting grind. I just needed a slight break. I needed a chance to turn my brain off for a few. I truly see the need to do that sometimes. Just say no! I ain't doing it! Imma sit my tail down and do absolutely nothing at all and I WILL NOT feel bad for doing it. This does not make me a bad mommy and I am certainly not a bad wife. I holds it down! Today, I just needed to sit down. Otherwise, what will I have to offer if I am burned out? No to adulting (on occasion okay? Don't abuse the privilege). No regrets. Point blank and the period. Boop!

    Kudos to you mom for speaking the truth! A lot of times we have that inner voice criticizing us for not being a superhero mom that can go 24/7 with no breaks but she doesn't exist. You holds it down like you said but we all need a break. You're the real hero for having the courage to admit your kid binge-watched You Tube. Girl we have a few days like that when we had the flu in my house.

    BTW, love your blog!!!

      Thank you for your encouraging words! Yes, as much as I would like to go 24/7, it's impossible. This year has been the year of self care for me. I have been a friend to me and in turn it has benefited my family because mommy is happy. Lol!

The Warmth of the Snow

By
It was a cold and snowy Thursday morning. My icy cold hands fought to get Desi buckled up in his car seat. I gave him a kiss and headed over to my driver's side. I peered across the street and spotted this man walking his dog. I thought to myself, "He's pretty sexy." This overwhelming feeling comes over me and I revert to my school girlish ways. He approaches me with the warmest smile and I soon didn't feel so cold anymore. I am taken into his masculine arms and I am given a gentle kiss. We hold each other as the snow falls all around us. We gaze into each others eyes as we dance to "Down by the Bay" (songs in kid minor). LOL!  That moment with my husband meant so much. It was a rush rush kind of morning and to just take the time to embrace each other helps you to continue to remember the love you have for the one that was there before your child. Once you have a child, life tends to revolve around that little person. However, it is so important for t...

Star Wars and a Lesson Learned

By
Thursday night my husband and I snuck out the house to catch the 11:40p showing of Star Wars! My mother stays at our house during the week to watch Omari so she was fine with staying with the kids while we ran off to be teenagers again. As soon as we put the boys to bed, we rolled out (Roll Out by Ludacris plays here). It was exciting! Sometimes things are so surreal to me that it seems like my life is a movie and I will instantly que music in my head for the relatable scene. I felt a rush come over me while we tiptoed through the house and out the door. It felt like we were being rebellious. We were rebelling against the parental norms for the night. Once we got into the car, we just smiled at each other as I silently melted. His smile is a constant reminder of one of the many reasons why he is my husband. He is so fine (I Love Your Smile by Shauniece plays here)! He said, "You ready baby?" I nodded and we headed for the theater. He thanked me for coming with him and I could...

1 Stitch 2 Stitch

By
My 1 year old got stitches on his head last night (really this morning- ER was packed). The first of many real deal boo boos. We have a drum set in our basement and one of the snare drums was on the floor. I turned my back for literally 2 seconds (to eat a freakin cookie) and heard a shriek of pain. I quickly turned around and saw Omari holding his head. I ran over to him thinking he just hit his head on the floor or wall or something but I saw blood. I looked around and saw the snare drum and put two and two together. I cleaned the wound and saw a hole in his head. It was clearly a puncture. It wouldn't stop bleeding and it looked pretty deep. My baby! I was sick to my stomach because my baby was hurt. Desi held his stomach and started pacing the floor. "Oh God!" He said. He started to cry. "I don't want my baby brother to be hurt. Is he going to be okay?" He was so worried. My husband consoled him while I tried to clean the wound. I told my husband I have ...
