Sunday, July 31, 2005What's The Obbsession......with drawing all over yourself? I can kind of remember writing on my hand and my sister did a little bodily artwork as a kid, but Branden has taken to drawing up and down his legs. LOL I had to put every pen in the house out of his reach which in my case it's also out of my reach! But somehow he has managed to find every lost homeless pen in the damn universe! I need to take him into the garage and let him find all the missing sock buddies! There's only so much you can do. So lastnight the kiddies were a little rambunkcious and hungry so I made dinner 30 minutes earlier than we normally aim for. Well, I was not expecting them to finish eating in less than 15 minutes. Branden typically takes forever and a day to eat dinner, don't know why, but he does. Any rate! So we get the bath going for them and start the night time routine (dinner, Ali bath, Branden bath, get dressed, give hugs and kisses, get in your bed) pretty basic. Well, I was on the phone with my mommy and we were laughing at the world when Josh comes into the room with Alicia and says ok give kisses. I happened to look up at the clock and saw that it was 7:30ish maybe earlier. I was all like..."Dude! Look what time it is. She's going to be up before the sun tomorrow!" Josh comes back with something along the lines of but shes so tired she needs to go to bed. Sure enough! The little Angel she thinks she is woke up at 6!!!!!! I pride myself on my sleep people. These two get up between 7:45 and 8:45 on any given day, so seeing as how I hardly slept lastnight of course they are going to be up acting as if they had an 8ball each for a midnight snack. How do they do it? How can kids just get up and act like they are on speed? I mean come one! I don't think I ever woke up like that, sept for when I started dating in high school, then school turned into a huge dramatic social event that required AT LEAST an hour in the morning to get ready and make yourself look presentable, yet at the same time trying to make it look like you really didn't do anything special. Wow, sorry for the rant..... I love my kids to death! They are so damn cute and funny. It's almost like they have an unspoken agreement between themselves. When one of them is driving you to the front door of the nearest looney bin, the other does things that makes you smile and forget about all your stresses and woes. I guess I am raising them pretty good huh... Well, for now I must go. I am having oh so much fun tagging new blog templates and being an individual. I you guys ever want your blogs to look much better than the basic blog templates provided let me know, I can hook ya up. TooTTles NooDDles ~M~ : 10:04 AM : 0 Desufnoc: 
Leave Confusion / Or Read Others Friday, July 29, 2005Addiction?Not me... LOL, ok so I am stuck staring at the screen on my phone trying to crush Josh's scores on Tetris. This has been going on for almost a month now. It's funny when he sees me open my phone he just rolls his eyes and lets out this annoying sigh. I usually smirk and say *You started it all*. Anyways! This is supposed to be about the kids or about me being a mommy or something....... Well can someone PLEASE tell me WHY little baby girls must scream? I don't mean cry or whine, I mean flat out break the windows and any glass within a 8 mile radius SCREAM! That's Alicia's favorite past time. It's nothing new, she's been screaming since her head popped out, but now it's a bit different. She is 10 times worse than any 2 year old I have ever seen in my life! You wanna know why? I'll tell you... "Be careful what you wish for" Seriously! If your mom or anyone has ever given you that warning, I strongly suggest you heed it. I love my babie gurl don't get me wrong. She is smart, beautiful, sweet as can be (sometimes) but she has this ear piercing scream for no reason. Well, she has a reason I just don't see any validity in her point. She is what we affectionately refer to as a BWA baby with attitude. She is all about her daddy. It used to depress me because I always wanted a little girl and she wants nothing to do with me, unless I am the only ine here with her. If she is getting into stuff and I have to keep telling her no or something, I usually tell her to chill and put her in her playpen. As soon as her little feet hit the floor of her playpen she takes a HUGE breath and lets out this God awful scream until she turns purple. Each scream lasts about 90 seconds. Seriously! Does anyone else have this problem? On a lighter note...When I lived in Tampa for a while and being a stay home mom leaves you with a lot of time on your hands. So one day I am listening to the radio and one of the DJ's is talking about her Baby Journal on the raido's website. She was pregnant at the time. Well anyways, she would encourage listeners to read the journal and share stories. So one day I was bored and was like sure, why not. Well, I started to read and I was laughing and sympathizing and sharing stories and everything. She and I would swap emails and all then one night we were talking on AIM and she went into labor! So now me and other listeners are swapping stories and giving pointers encouragement blah blah blah. One day I emailed her telling her that I was leaving my man because I needed a bit of soul searching. It was a hard thing for me to do but I had a REALLY bad year. After Alicia was born I almost died and had an emergency hysterectomy. So being 22 with no uterus and no chance of ever carrying another child hit hard and painfully. After a while I couldn't deal anymore, so I ran to hide in the mountains and figure myself out. I didn't go online or talk to many people other than Josh and my mom, I truly needed to find myself, as cliche as it sounds. When I began to find me, I ventured online to try and catch up on the outside world. I found out that my online mom friend was no linger a DJ at that radio station. I was crushed. Not because she wasn't there, more of I realized that in the process of trying to find myself and better my life, I had lost a lot. I missed out on much of the world my God daughter, my best friend, mom, dad, sister, Dawn. If I knew Dawn was going to die I would have made more of an effort to stick around. Yet at the same time, that may have made the pain of her moving on much more intense. So I came back. I wasn't sure how long I would be here, if it was right for me to do it. I was ashamed of myself now. I ripped my family apart and took my kids far from the only family they had ever known. Even though we gained another family and were loved unconditionally where we were, it didn't sit right. When I looked for my DJ friend again, I found out she had moved upstate, then to SC and now she is in New England! I stumbled upon her blogs and email on it, so now I am catching up on the gossip and the milestones she and her baby girl have made. Turns out she needed some soul searching as well. From what I have read she is feel a lot of what I felt. I know how hard it is to do that to yourself, your family, and your kids. So right now I hope that maybe we will talk online again and I will be able to encourage her once more. I kind of like having gone through all the hardships in my life because it has made me a little stronger and now I am able to share it with others and possibly help people who may end up in a similar situation than I once was. I think I have ranted enough for one day! LOL ~(~@ !!!PeAcE BaBeS!!! @~)~ ~M~ : 9:47 AM : 0 Desufnoc:

Leave Confusion / Or Read Others Saturday, July 23, 2005Hey There! Meet my kids, Branden is 5 and starts school in like 2 weeks (big time depressing over here) Alicia is 2 and a royal pain in the butt! She has a major Princess Complex. She is also spoiled rotten. My kids are like night and day, Branden was so quiet as a baby. All he did was sleep! When he woke up and was hungry, he would grunt and squeak not cry. When he saw that we were getting his food ready, he would quiet down and follow us with his eyes. Alicia on the other hand, she did not believe in sleep or rest. She woke up every 45 minutes for the first 2 or 3 weeks, and when she woke up, so did everyone in a 5 mile radius! She let EVERYONE know she was ding of starvation. The day she was born she held her bottle, lifted her head, and watched everyone in the room. She is one nosy little girl. My cousin calls her nosy rosy. Alicia didn't sleep through the night until she was almost 1. But that wasn't a big deal for me. Josh worked nights so he got home between 11pm-1am on any given day. That was also the time she would wake up and want to play for about 20 minutes, eat for 10, get changed, held, and put back to bed...By daddy only! All the while Branden slept through everything. LOL Now that he is 5 he doesn't sleep as much. He has a good 8-9 hours at night, no nap, but he sleeps like a rock. He would sleep through a tornado! Alicia wakes up if the AC kicks on. See what I mean? Night and day. Well, I am going to go and mess with the template on this thing, gotta make it all cool lookin and stuff. :) Enjoy! PeAcE ~M~ : 4:20 PM : 0 Desufnoc:
