Who's The Adult Here?

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!

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...

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 ...

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...
