Things in history repeat themselves....how do I stop it?

For those of you who know me, know that I had a child as a teenager. I do not regret it because I have a wonderful 11 year old that gets on my last nerve. :) I love her dearly though. Anyways, again she is only 11 and she is already interested in boys and so was I when I was that age. I'm not sure if I can keep her from being curious. Now that I am a parent things seem so different. I know why my mother and father tried to keep me from a lot of things as a child, but I never knew until now. There are a lot of things that I am contemplating and it sucks. I just pray that she makes the right choices. I know her dad and I will do what we can to instill good morals into her head. She is a great basketball player and wants to be a singer, gosh I hope she will focus more on that. AVOID the  BOYS! At least for now. Parents you are welcomed to give me some pointers.
Be blessed.

To wash or not to wash...

Imagine...that your sink is overloaded with dirty, greasy dishes. You're scrubbing and scrubbing and rinsing and rinsing. The task seems to last forever. FINALLY!! The last cup is being rinsed. After you drain the sink, wipe it out, and dry your hands you notice that you missed a spoon. *sigh* it seems as though washing that one little spoon is just too painful. Water and soap and paper towels should not be wasted on washing just ONE spoon. Do you wash the spoon or not? And why or why not? Just a thought I had while washing my own dishes tonight. :)
Be blessed.

Cleaning

Good morning loves!! Woke up this morning and started early on my household chores. The kids are asleep, so this is the best time to get a lot of things done. Have a wonderful day and be blessed.

Daddy's Little Girl...enough said

First of all I want to say Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! I hope that you were fortunate enough to spend time with your loved ones today. I know that days like this can be extremely difficult for some people and that is understandable. I know God is there for you today and always, no matter what. If you do nothing else, at least give thanks the man above for breathing air into our lungs and giving us life.

Today has been a rushed day for my sister and I. First, we wanted to surprise my husband with his Father's Day gift, so we insisted that he go take a shower. His new commercial grill was on its way to be delivered at our home and we did not want him to hear it coming. Long story short, he did not hear the delivery truck and we surprised him with his new grill! Well, than my parents come over and we have a cook out for my dad for fathers day and for his birthday. As we are sitting there eating together, my sister decides that she wants to tell a "funny" story about me making my husband get in the shower and how I told him to get naked! OMG!!! I was so embarrassed and I almost choked on a piece of steak. My  mom was laughing and told my husband that he must have thought we were crazy. I looked over at my dad and he had a blank expression on his face. It was one awkward moment for me. I could have just knocked my sister out! Oh, and we were speaking in Spanish, so my husband had no idea what the conversation was about and I was not going to translate it back to him in front of my dad.

There are a number of things that I do NOT do in the presence of my dad. One of those things is showing any public display of affection towards my husband and I DON'T tell him about any intimate details of my marriage. Thank goodness my dad changed the subject; he asked my mom if she wanted a hot pepper! HAHA

Many of you may not understand why I was embarrassed, but the truth of the matter is, in my dad's eyes I am still a ten year old girl that he knew a long time ago that did not like to brush her hair or shower. Now, I am a mother and a wife. It is very difficult for a father to watch their child grow up into an adult, especially their daughters. I can do nothing wrong and if I do, my father wishes not to see it. I'm still daddy's little girl and I like that.
Thank goodness my husband understands and I'm sure many of you do too. 
Finally, we sang happy birthday to my dad, ate cake and I went on  my way to work.
I just wanted to share a little story. All's well that ends well.

Happy Father's Day again!

Waking up is hard to do on a Saturday morning. Thanking God for allowing me to see another day is a big motivator.
Thank you Lord!
Kids are still asleep, my baby girl is lying there like a little angel. I guess it's time to get my morning chores out if the way and then off to work.
Today is my dad and brother's birthday. How in the world can you plan for that one? Haha :)
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Thank your Lord above for everything and everyone.
Be blessed!

Nursing your little one

Having a bond with your child is very important. Why not start early by nursing, and you'll also be saving money by not buying formula. Use the money you save and put it towards their future, who knows. Anyways, breast feeding is a wonderful experience and nothing compares to it. Sure the first few weeks are rough on your nipples, after one month the soreness goes away. Imagine the look of your baby after he or she is done eating. When they are full, they lie their head back and let out a small, tender sigh and drift oft to sleep. It's a wonderful feeling!
I did not nurse my first two kids, basically because I was really young and I thought it was "nasty" to breast feed. Boy, was I wrong! I hope every woman will consider breast feeding their infants.
Thanks for reading
Be Blessed!

Being a parent is a blessing from God. I know many of you that many of you are non-believers, but this blog is not for you.
There is nothing like hearing your child(ren) saying their very first sounds, their first grasps and movements. It is a wonderful feeling and it can become overwhelming to many of us moms. No parent will ever be perfect, but you can be perfect in your child(ren)'s eyes. If you haven't noticed, kids forgive a lot easier than grown ups; most of them are not familiar with holding grudges against anyone that does them harm. With that being said, if you mess up, your child will most likely forgive you within a few moments and you both can move on, but if you continue hurting them over and over again, it will be more difficullt for them to forgive and forget. Anyways, my point is, be nice to your children, enjoy their presence and instill positive values into them. Make sure to build their spirits, so they will want to strive to be better people. Build their self-esteem and push them to be better than the rest. :) Anyone who is anyone, wants their child(ren) to have a better life! Push yourself to be the best parent ever. Thank God for the blessing(s) He has given you. Take care of his blessings!

unmotivated

I have not typed anything in a really long time. I need to get in a habit of making this a routine. Honestly, I do not think I can make anything a routine; I have to really make myself do something and that can be a pain because I will admit that I am very lazy. I will give you an example, last night I told my sister that I would place my Bible by my bed and read a scripture every morning before doing anything else, and you know what? That did not happen. Today I woke up, fed my dauthter and rolled out of bed and didn't even think about opening up my Bible. OMG! I feel so awful about it. I plan to make up for it tonight when I get home from work; that's if I don't forget. Lord  help me!
I have started a new business, but I have not had much sucess because I'm never there and I have gotten lazy with promoting it. I really don't know why I put things off. I know that if I worked harder at it, it would really pay off.  It seems that every time I get motivated to do something, something else comes up and I lose focus and give up. The motivation just isn't there for me anymore. What could it be?
UGH! Years just keep passing by and I seem to be getting nowhere. Things have to change. Something's gotta give.
So, I plan on reading a scripture everyday, because I need to know what God is expecting of me. AND....I plan on writing about 5 blogs a week. Please join me and keep me to my word.
Thanks a million
BE BLESSED

Third time is the charm? Really?

I haven't posted a blog lately but I had a moment to share a few thoughts about my third pregnancy. Well...at first I was surprised about the whole thing; I took like 6 pregnancy tests for goodness sakes. :) To be honest when I found out I was extremely nervous about the whole thing: starting over with a new baby (ME carrying a diaper bag again...COME ON!!!), my youngest child is 7 (big age gap), gaining weight again and then have to lose it after the baby is born (headache), plus it feels like I gain more weight after each baby...WTF!!! Then there is work...having this baby would put a bunch of strain on me and my pockets. WOW! I sound so freaking selfish, but it's the truth. I was scared to tell my parents...what would they think? LOL I guess I was just stressing myself for no apparent reason.

Now, a couple of months have gone by and everyone that needs to know, knows; and everyone is happy for me. :)

Is your relationship going as well as it used to? What happens to the connection that the two of you had? Over the years things change and we forget to keep having fun. You know everything is great at first, you laugh, talk, and you spend as much time as you can together. Every single moment is cherished. It's fun acting like high school kids, you do it in the most awkward places, no cares in the world but only you and your significant other. People starring and envying you because you have what they want and you don't even notice it. Some time passes and you take it to the next level, you move in together; everything is still going great. Then out of nowhere you start stressing over money or work or school and maybe even kids; the love is still there but the anger and stress is outweighing the love. Sex is no longer in the equation. How do you survive this? How do you continue like this? These questions are difficult to answer but you gotta figure something out. Remember what made you fall in love and what was fun in the beginning. Falling in love is easy (to some) but the hard part is staying in love when everything seems to come crashing down on you. For some reason people who are only dating seem to break it off easier than those who are married. Yeah there are differences but the love you share isn't. Am I right? Do you love a person more AFTER you get married? I think not! What do you think? I'm going everywhere with this blog but I will make a point eventually.

MJstache

Why are people hating on the MJstache? Everybody had something to say when they saw the new Hanes commercial. Charles Barkley said it was "one of the stupidest things he'd seen in a long time" Fall back Charles, no it's not! And Ashton, how can you even compare Michael Jordan to Hitler?
When I seen the Hanes commercial, I didn't know whether to laugh or take him serious. But either way he's Michael Jordan! He can get away with this. The commercial is funny, the MJstache made even more hilarious....Way to go Michael , I will be sure to go buy my husband some Hanes Lay Flat shirts, I definitely don't want him to rock the "bacon neck" Everybody has their own opinion of the mustache. What do you think?

Figuring it out

I will start with stating that I really have no clue where I'm going with this blog, but I plan on finding out. Like many things in my life, I never knew what would come from the decisions I made, of course there are decisions in my life that I really trully regret but I can't do anything to change it. I feel as though I shouldn't try and correct things because no matter how hard you erase, the pencil marks will always show. There are events in my life that I can't erase from my memory or my heart; I am who I am because of it. Is that good or bad? I have no answer for that. The opinion of others doesn't matter to me, but my opinion of myself does. Right now, I'm not ammused with my life. I haven't figured out what I'm here for and things never go as planned. Staying positive is difficult, especially with so much negativity coming your way. Lucky for me, God made me a LEO and I take that to heart. Right now I'm just typing whatever comes to mind, so excuse me if I'm taking you all over the place with this blog. Like I said before I have no clue where I'm going. Some of my blogs will be humerous, depressing, knowledge and out of the ordinary...just whatever comes to mind in that moment. Feel free to leave your comments or suggestions. Check back with me later. Figuring......... Toodles
