Sometimes when I am sleeping and the kids wake up, I pretend I can not hear them so my husband will get up and see what they need so I can get a few more minutes of sleep….
Breaking the silence… June 29, 2009
So it was like 1am last night and all was quiet in the house. The husband and the kids were all sleeping sound in their beds. I’m usually spending my time on the Internet since I do not have any interruptions and it is a quiet activity, I guess I could be reading actually doing something to help my brain but you know. So I am sitting at the desk with the only the light of the computer, I decided to get up and fetch me a drink when I kicked a toy that was left on and it starts singing on the loudest setting, “shake it up” and counting in spanish. Im cringing because I hear stirring coming from the bedrooms and I am afraid I awoke the household, luckily it stopped and the house came quiet again so I decided to not bother finding the toy since it stopped untill…..I kicked it again……..ugh!!! and repeat scenario. I guess point of the story is to make sure the toys are A) turned off at the end of the day or B) picked up off the floor.
Confession #1 June 28, 2009
ohhhh I almost forgot, at the end of each post, I plan on adding my mama confessions, it is one of the reasons I named my blog this is because I know I’mnot perfect but do the best I can. If I forget I will just add it seperately but either way I plan on adding them. So without further ado
Drama Mama Confession #1- Sometimes if I’m eating something that my kids want to eat and I know they will eat it all if I give them a taste, I tell them it tastes like spinach and they will not like it
Mama on a mission! June 28, 2009
I had a revelation last night that got me to thinking I need/want to change a few things around here. With three kids and the littlest one now crawling all over the place I feel like I live in chaos, while I love it at times I need to be more organized for my own sanity. My oldest who will be going into kindergarten is starting to be a little mouthy and I gues since he is sitll so innocent, sweet and little in my eyes its hard for me to believe he is really becoming his own little person. So with that I have decided to try out a few new parenting strategies. I have to say though Iam a relaxed parent, not to the point where I have a house full of crazy little monsters running around but Im not so structured either where everything we do is schedulized (do not get me wrong there is nothing with that) but my family this is just how we are. I will keep you updated on what things we do and how it works.
Next Im still in my quest to finding ways to be more greener and natural in our living, for the sake of our health and environment. I know that Im not a tree hugger (again nothing wrong with that) but I would like to live a little on the crunchy side.
Another big thing is Im trying to find ways to save money for our family. Im a stay at home mom but I do work a night away from the home a week to give me some adult interaction and break up the feeling of ONLY being a mommy. I have just became interested in couponing and once I really understand it and get into it I will definetly share my findings.
Lastly and certainly not least, Im still trying to find myself as a person and not just a wife and mother. While i really do enjoy those jobs and love my family more than anything I feel I have lost a little piece of me along the way. For one I really need to get back into shape, I know I will never be the skinny 19 year old my husband met who always wore nice clothes, always had make up on and focused being in shape. However I believe I can bring back some of those sides of me and in return will make me feel better about myself. Im also exploring options of going to school and maybe working more but we will have to see.
Anyway, well my plan is to stay up on this. I feel if Im able to keep tack of everything here it will give me the motivation I need to help do the things I want. So stay tuned if you like and see where all this takes me and my family!
Here I go…. June 6, 2009
Well I’m finally beginning my journey into bloging and we will have to see where this takes me. I’m not a writer and I frankly can not spell and probably will not use great grammar but at least I have a spell check to help with one of those issues lol. My life is not super exciting but I do have some pretty funny children who keep me entertained. I guess I’m hoping to just keep track here my life’s experiences with myself, marriage, kids and family and hopefully learning new things along the way.
