The things we carry, and what we can let go of

We carry around past relationships that did not work out for a reason. Failed marriages make you a failure because that person abandoned you and your children. They put you down and make you the breadwinner for your family and learn to do everything by yourself and on your own. You did not ask for this, it was given to you and you have no choice but to be a warrior for your kids and yourself.

Welcome to my blogs!!!

Mom 101

“Sorry to burst your bubble their is no easy way to say it, the little humans we held inside us of 40 weeks aka 10 months is left with us and we have to LEARN to take care of them on our own.”

Each day is a new beginning. We will mess up. Sleep what is that? A bath oh the joys of taking a simple bath by yourself and relaxing with candles and wine are officially OVER.

Terrible 1's, yea you heard me right

If you want to get technical it all starts around six months. When your baby first begins to crawl. You were happy when they did belly time and started cooing and drooling and looking so gosh darn cute. Then Bamn! Your hit out of nowhere, your baby crawling leads to your baby standing which leads to a walker which then leads to your baby walking, and then you know what it's like to run around while cooking dinner making sure your baby does not get hurt or sticks its tiny little fingers in the electric socket because yes ALL babies are curious and push their limits and then the REAL fun begins.

The NO phase

“Mothers come in handy”

Mom, whether you have one, joined a mom group, but you can not do this alone. The saying, '" It takes a village to raise a child" yes they were NOT lying about that. Unless you want to fail miserably on your own or you can do it on your own, more power to you. But I raised a well-educated respectful daughter ON MY OWN and I barely have hair to prove it. Did I mention my daughter has gone to college and obtained a BA degree. Yup, it was a rollercoaster, but we did it. And the funny part is

I had 3 more behind her. Yea I guess I did not learn my lesson lol.

Love your children, listen to them and be there for them no matter what

Through it all, you will have a best friend in your daughter and a protector from your son. And in the end, if you raise them right, it will all be worth it. Now the teenage years are the roughest for both males and females. But you just have to remember the love you have for them and the pain you went through to get them into this world. Ain't it funny how much pain we go through to get our babies but the second they come out and the doctors place them in your arms all the pain you just literally went through goes away. May you have many memories with your little ones <3

Good luck!
