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

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
