Dentist, Singapore, Birthday

I went to the dentist on Friday and was again reminded of the importance of flossing. I know that already but admitted to the dentist that I rarely do. What's up with that? Anyway, going there made me think about something. I had braces as a child but rarely went for checkups after they removed. Why on earth would my parents spend all the money for braces but not make me go back for checkups? As a result, my dental care was lacking for many years. As a result of that, a few years ago, I had to get a few fillings in my mouth and had a root canal done. One thing that I will definitely do differently for my children is insist on good dental care, both at home and during checkups.

On another note, we may be moving temporarily to Singapore. I'm so excited! From what I hear, it's very beautiful and there is very little crime. The thing that I dread for now is the 19 hour plane ride. I don't like flying anyway but to make that trip with a 2 1/2 year old and 9 month old...pure torture! Anyway, this is a wonderful opportunity and while there we can visit so many other close places like China, Japan, Australia, Thailand.

June 29th will be here on Friday and I'll be 30. I can't wait. There are so many other people who didn't get to make it to this age or who may be celebrating their birthday in the hospital or homeless or who knows what else. I feel so blessed to be able to celebrate this milestone. Too bad I can't do so by stopping back by The Chocolate Bar in Houston for a deliciously decadent treat.

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.
