Mommy, is that a bear?

Perhaps my daughter will grow up to be a veterinarian because she keeps thinking people are animals (i.e. do you see the monkey?). Anyway, while we were in Florida, Danae said "mommy is that a bear?" Who was she talking about? Aunt Debbie from Atlanta!!! That girl is crazy. Lesson learned: lay off the animal/nature lessons a little.

Why does She.ryl.Crow think we can use one square of tissue when we go to the bathroom? Lesson learned: she is nasty and in the off chance that I ever meet her we will not shake hands.

Why did my son, Brayden, almost kill himself by choking on a piece of his sister's toy? Why did I not think it would be a hazard to him? Because that piece can barely fit in my mouth (not that I've tried) but it's sorta large. He couldn't close his mouth once he jammed it in so he started crying with a muffled sound. That's when we noticed what happened. One of my friends has a daughter and son also. She told me that if she had her son first, she would probably have stuck with only one kid. I now see what she means even though I still want more children. Lesson learned: watch that sucka all the time no matter what because little boys are nuts.

We can't find people our own age at church in this area. We've visited 3 churches and have noticed a gap between 18/19 year olds and 40-somethings. We can't find people our own age. The people here say they are still "in the world". They send their kids to church with the grandparents. This is somewhat depressing. I know I said I wouldn't make any friends here because I don't want any emotional attachments making it sad for me when I leave but...I would like to meet someone in my age bracket at church. Lesson learned: the devil is seriously seeking whom he may devour.

I am curious, are u going to churches where there are large numbers of the dominant culture? We had that same experience in New England, and we found in the Black churches there was more diversity in age, while the predominantly white churches had no teenagers nor young adults. It was quite disheartening to say the least. I totally understand about the "making friends" issue... that's all :D. Be blessed!!

Motherhood

Yesterday, I had something to do so the kids went to their old sitter's house for a few hours. We got home later than intended so I knew I would be rushing to prepare dinner, get them bathed, and settled for the night. Here's what really happened. As soon as we entered the house, Brayden started running around saying "Mommy, I have to pee". So we rush into the bathroom and as soon as his pants are unbuttoned, he starts peeing on himself. I clean him up and decide they can play in the tub while I start preparing dinner. As soon as we get to the kitchen, Danica throws up all over me, herself, and the floor. So, I take her to our bathroom and bathe her. Before I can get her pj's buttoned up, Brayden starts screaming "I have to pee!" Because he just went all over the bathroom floor, I'm a little perplexed. I run to their bathroom anyway only to find out he didn't have to pee, he had to poop and had already dropped two bombs in the bathtub where his s...

In Memory...

Staff Sergeant Javares Washington was killed in Kuwait. He was my cousin. My cousin died yesterday...in Kuwait...and I'm so very sad. I feel like I can't breathe. My heart is broken. We grew up like siblings. His mom had him at a very young age. She wasn't ready to take care of him. So, he lived with us for years. He was like my brother. And now, I'm in shock. I'm going to miss him so much. The military has only said he was in a government vehicle on patrol and it flipped over. We don't know what caused the flip or anything. I want to go home. He was married and had two children. His son, Jayden, is 6 years old and looks just like him. His daughter, Tristin, is 9 months old. My heart is broken.

Love at First Sight

I am absolutely in love with this little girl. Danica was born with a heart murmur but we found out today it's no longer there. We are so happy with this little perfect being and can't wait to get to know her more.
