Her New Bestest Friends

We had a fun surprise Thursday evening when my parents called and said that they were leaving their Branson vacation early to come spend some time with their granddaughter. We actually met up with them at daycare and it was party central from there. Seriously, when those two are around I am old news.
My dad [...]

Dear Mother Earth, etc…

(and by etc… I mean all of you colds, viruses, allergies… you SOB’s),
Be nice to my baby. Quit picking on her! You are big, she is little. It simply is NOT a fair fight.
We have dealt with the five ear infections (three doubles) in the past nine months, we have acknowledged the peanut, milk, egg, [...]

Happy Birthday Ryker!

Dear Ryker,
It is hard to believe you are ONE YEAR OLD already! I remember your Mama being pregnant and just how excited we all were to meet you. You felt the same way because you sure were in a rush to get here! Five weeks early dude? You were giving us all a scare as [...]

Life Is Like

A box of chocolates. Apparently. Cliche? A little, or a lot. Why I keep referring to Forrest Gump while talking about my life I don’t know. It does seem to fit though. I have learned that we all seriously do not know what we’re going to get. Things  about being a Mom I didn’t even [...]

Motivation

Is a little lower than low… it is absent right now.
Bear with me, I am a single Mom trying to adjust to my husband coaching football and the second week of two-a-days as well as getting used to the curve-ball thrown my way and working through that and the list of things I am behind [...]

What a weekend it has been. Shoot. What a TWO WEEKS we’ve had. Poor Miss P. Saturday I took her into the Dr after she was really clingy, fussy, and threw up her entire breakfast. She was scratching at her ears, but no fever. All I could tell the Dr was that “she just wasn’t [...]

Can’t Sit Hee-yeah

There was the Civil Rights Movement to ensure equality for all races, backgrounds and ethnicities. There was the Woman’s Suffrage Association who started the Woman’s Rights Movement to ensure equality for all genders. Where is the “Mama’s Rights Movement”??? Why is it that there is not equality for women who want to focus on their [...]

Why Did I Panic??

Raymonn came clean tonight. He fessed up. Saturday night while I was gone in Vegas he told me the truth… he had a babysitter come watch Prayse.
Why was my first reaction panic? Literally, my heart started to immediately race and I had to calm myself down. Why was that? The girl he had come watch [...]

One Year Ago Tonight…

July 13, 2007… we got the party started.
Earlier this evening I started to feel some back pain but just wrote it off, what full-term pregnant lady doesn’t have back pain? I did notice that was something different but I’m not about to get my hopes up… not with this baby’s history of giving me hope and then snatching [...]
