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...

Long Time

By
It has been a long time since I've blogged. To be honest, I kinda lost interest for a few months. I guess it may have been because no one was reading it. I just happened to look at it today and it sparked up an interest again. I realized how much I just really like writing. So to heck with it. I'm gonna write. I don't care if no one will ever read it. With all that said, let's talk about motherhood. Desmond is 1 1/2 years old! He is busy as ever. He loves playing outdoors, especially in the rain. He says,  "Outside Mommy! Pay, I want pay!" Now who can say no to that? Oh! Wait Wait! I gotta share this first before I go any further. Two days ago, I came home with Desi (after picking him up from daycare). We walked in the house and he greeted our dog as usual. Then he yelled "D-A-A-D-Y!" I told him daddy wasn't home yet. He looked at me and said, "baketball?" How did he know that? Yes, my husband was out playing basketball. But how did h...

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 sc...
