Longing for my fresh mango martini break.

I feel bad because I really don't want to be sitting here right now watching tv with the kids waiting for them to fall asleep wishing for a homemade mango martini. I would rather be actually sipping on that martini, relaxing watching the game. They have driven me to the point of no return today, and to actually get from my fiancé an ounce of attention ( the kid that really makes me happy, not just what he thinks is good enough) is a joke. Today was a rough day for me and the kids and for me in general . Hopefully tomorrow will be better! I definitely live day to day , and hope for the best

What it takes for us women to stay sane, but can they do it ? THE MEN

Ok being a mom is not the only thing in life that can make u happy. I mean seriously, I still need to feel sexy, and young, that helps me feel good, and it helps me to be a better mother. The craziest part of it all is if that's not happening it's almost impossible to be happy! Men don't understand this because they base so much of their happiness on sex. So if they're getting enough of that from their spouse or otherwise, hey they're good! And that's just not the case for us women. These guys need to get the memo, whether it be from their mother, sister, auntie, homegirl, lover, wife, even you (after the millionth time, because we all try to inform them in some way or another) shit or whoever else I may have forgotten to add that could tell them . Somebody needs to make the announcement over the homeroom loudspeaker. YOUR WIFE! GIRLFRIEND! SIGNIFICANT OTHER WHATEVA NEEDS TO FEEL YOUNG AND SEXY STILL! YOU NEED TO KEEP IT FRESH! AND YOUTHFUL EVEN THOUGH THOUGH YOU HAVE CHILDREN!!!!!
Us ladies will go out of our way to try to do this, but do you gentelmen, 1. even notice 2. Recipricate, and 3. Last but not least... Are you even willing to try to understand the womans point of view, and try to make an effort to understand the issue, and try to make the situation better?

Bathroom blues

What's hilarious is that as a mom, the word privacy is completely deleted from my life. I mean trying to go to the bathroom is like a secret ops mission :)
The amount of plotting, and planning that goes into sneaking out of the room just to use the bathroom in private is unreal. The kicker is that I have a short period of time b4 I'm invaded! Kids , dog, husband, you name em' they're at the door requesting an invite! My only option is to let them in!!! Well there goes my private moment to myself . I don't even know why they want to share in that moment, we're talkin smells I don't want to describe! A mothers life :p

Mom's, parent's, dad's ( who are mom and dad both)

As a mom, I find that everyday brings something new. I learn something I may not have known, I see something special that I wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't a mom. This is such a cool, and challenging journey that I'm on. I know I'm raising, and shaping the future. It's a huge responsibility, but a great one. If all of us ( moms, parents, or dads that are mom & dad) look at it that way it would be no question, our next generation will be made up of amazing individuals!

My Mother

Ok so I think I must share a little of my history , before I start talking about my new world of being a mother. By history I am talking the relationship, I had with my mom, the fact that I had " step kids" way before I had my own , ( I'll explain the quotations in a minute) and of course my journey into motherhood, pregnancy to present . It's a story and a half , but I think that's with all women. Don't you ;)
To begin, my mother was an amazing woman , she taught me everything I know about life, spirituality, health, being a wife, and motherhood. Sometimes she wasn't necessarily trying to teach ( or so I thought at the time) she was just telling me things, that she experienced and where she felt she went, wrong and could have done things differently. I am the woman, and mother I am today because of her.

Mom passed away in May of 2006. A year before I had my first child Kaleb. I actually think conceived my babyboy in the month she left this earth.

He was a gift to me . Because losing my mother was going to tear me apart, but I had to hold myself together for the health of my little bun in the oven.

Kaleb was born February 2007, and then unexpectedly I was preggers again, with Keira, my babygirl., she was born exactly a year later February 2008.

This is where my journey as a full time mom started, and changed the scope, and purpose of my life forever.
