New Special Segment: Motherhood - the good, the bad and the Oh No You Didn't!

There have been millions of book written about parenthood, becoming a parent and all that you will experience. They are helpful, informative and can be some what comforting. Advice from well-known doctors, psychologists and well parents. It's so great especially when you have 9 super easy months to read them all right???

NOT! Come on really! I may not have had months of prep or years of raising a child from egg to teen, but I've been around enough to know that there isn't a book out there that is the end all be all. So Yes, you will need to grab a few books to well "get ready". HAHA isn't that funny when people say I'm not ready for children. Honestly, they are probably right, but in reality you can't ever be "ready".

Just when you think oh I am ready now...then well the babies don't come, you get more than one baby, you have a easy first trimester and the rest suck, gestational diabetes, baby issues and I can go on. BUT what they do tell you is that parenthood and for all purposed going forward Motherhood is a blessing any way you get it. Be it "normally", IVF, Adoption, surrogacy, guardian ship, foster parent and so forth.

This new segment will appear every once in awhile as it is now part of my life. Warning, this is not a parenting guide, I am not perfect, I can't really cover babies (but feel free to write in I'll post it), it may make you laugh, it may make you cry and it may make you say "oh no you didn't!"

Lessons #??? - Gosh who is counting

  • If it took you 1 hour to get ready to go somewhere, add 30 more minutes if you have a small human with you that is able to express their own free will.

  • Things people don't tell you...your purse is really not your purse anymore, but a community bag that will hold toys, snacks, other people's sunglasses, Kleenex - clean and dirty, band-aids, anti-bacterial lotion, trash, hair-ties and well so much more. I will never make fun of my friend that carry those suitcase purses again!

  • Things people don't tell you (part 2)...you will feel like a failure A LOT (or maybe it is just me), but if they are still alive and breathing at the end of the day, I hear you are doing ok.

    more to come...also say tuned for "she said what!"

    Letter to My Sister

    HI Stacy! Hope Heaven is treating you well.  We sure miss you here on earth.  I am sure you are watching us daily, but just in case you are missing the finer details let me fill you in on your kids.  They, just like me, miss you.  We all wish that tomorrow was a day of celebration not a day of remembrance.  But I guess we should celebrate that you are not in pain anymore and that all three of yours children are being well taken care of. Hey did you hear that I am FINALLY getting married?  You would totally like the guy.  He's so great.  He's a big goofball like me but very loyal, caring and helpful.  He treats us all with respect and has only the best intentions when it comes to the kids.  We will rock this parenting thing together.  These kids will have an additional person to fill them up with love. So what have you missed in the last 5 years?  Unfortunately a lot.  It makes me sad sometimes to remember what t...

    Because you need me

    Today one of my loyal readers told me that he really needs me to update my blog more often.  He was tired of reading that I am "yellow" and he said that he sees me more as a "Peach".  LOL  I said I don't and probably will never own anything peach, come to think of it I don't even own anything yellow. So here are a few things that crossed my mind today. This morning when I got dressed in my room, I really thought my outfit matched.  Then after further consideration and better light at work I decided that I did not match at all. :-) I used to think that getting my nails done was a waste of money, but I really want to go get pedicure. I wish those belly belts that say they will tone your tummy actually worked, I'd wear it daily. If Nacho was a baby, I think he would never learn how to walk because I love him so much I'd carry him everywhere...but since he's a cat he'd scratch my eyes out if I tried. I miss fried foods. Sometimes I thin...

    Stairs (the mind of a 10 year old boy)

    Ever wonder all those times you were walking upstairs behind someone if you'd know if they farted on you? Or how many times someone probably has farted in your face and you didn't know? Oh come on...how many times have you done it. Do you really think you got away with it? I walk over a hundred stairs daily in my commute just think of my odds! Seriously I am doomed to have gas released on me. It is bad enough at times I have to smell B.O. and pot heads...NOW my crazy brain thinks of this. Ugh. Shameless plug don't forget to join as a follower :-) I like to feel needed.
