My Blessing
As I lay me down to sleep,
I thank the lord, for my boy, so sweet.
I’m blessed with silly faces and laughs, squeals and giggles from tickle attacks.
I’m blessed with tantrums and pouts galore and it makes me love him forevermore.
Butterfly kisses and Eskimo ones too,
My love for him stretches deep like the ocean blue.
I feel so blessed to see his smile every day and I will thank you lord, for always.
Amen
Hi all!
I have not posted here in a long time. Things have just been busy. You all know how that goes ☺️.
Let me catch you up:
My son is now in Pre-K. He absolutely loves it! All through out the summer he was scared and nervous and telling us he did NOT want to go to school. He didn’t want to leave me. At one point he told me the school doesn’t need him, that they can go on without him, hahaha. But thankfully, he is doing great, making friends, loves his teacher and really enjoys school.
Aside from school, I’ve signed him up for some winter programs in out township. Starting in December, he will be in karate, soccer and tennis. I’m glad he will be busy during winter days. You know how challenging it can be when the weather is cold and snowy and the kids are getting stir crazy! So on Friday’s and Saturdays, he will have things to do ☺️.
He is really excited to take karate. He tells me he will be good because he is a ‘ninja’! lol my silly boy. He is also excited to take soccer, being that he really enjoyed it last summer. Tennis is the only sport he is weary about. It’s not a sport he has tried yet, but my husband played tennis for many years and he wanted Nathaniel to try it. So we’ll see how that goes. If he ends up not enjoying it much, we just won’t sign him up for it next year.
But these programs are great because it keeps the children occupied and they are FREE. Yes! FREE! Can’t go wrong ☺️.
Well that’s it for now. I hope everyone is doing well and that the children are well. Please, let me know what you all have been up to!

This is exactly how I’ve been feeling for the past week! 😫 I thank the heavens however, for a wonderful husband! He see’s how stressed out I’ve been, so he took our little man out for a scoot on his new scooter. The silence right now in my apartment is Devine…
Bye guys! I need to continue to enjoy this silence before they return…sssshhhhh 😉.

“Mommy, do you know Alana?”
“No, who is that?”
“Alana! Alana!”
“Baby I don’t know who that is”
“She’s Dora’s friend, from Dora in the City.”
“Ooh ok. Sorry (lol), I don’t watch that show.”
“She twisted her ankle playing soccer and they put a cast on her. She has to use stilts now.”
“Stilts?”
“Yea, because she can’t use her foot to walk.”
“Oh you mean crutches (haha).”
“Yea cwutches”.
I love our conversations ☺️❤️.
I’m in disbelief right now guys! I am sitting in my car ALONE! I am going shopping ALONE! 😯
This is truly a rare accurance for me! Ok, ok…I’m off to enjoy this alone time! 😄
Happy Saturday!
A MOTHER is…
A super being!
She is a teacher, chef, driver, coach, game assembler, boo-boo kisser, personal shopper, laundry attendant, monster-chaser…caregiver. Mom will always be there when you need her. She will be there to listen when you’re happy, sad, angry or frightened. She is there to comfort you when you’ve had your first heart-break. She is there to discipline you and make sure great morals and values are instilled.She is there to make sure you try your very best at everything you do: school, sports, work…
A mother is there to show us unconditional love; to show us a love that can never be broken. A love like no other.
Thank you to all the Mothers out there! Happy Mother’s day!!! May your day be filled with love, laughter, happiness and blessings.
The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children.
(Quote by Jessica Lange)
I live for these moments. My son is my everything. I’ve chosen to better myself, so my son can have a strong, independent mother. I want him to look at me at see courage, love, intelligence, silliness, fun, determination and comfort.
I want my son to grow up knowing he can do anything he puts his mind to. If he has fears or doubts, I want him to know he can come to me and his father. I want him to always feel loved and always feel supported. Every child should have love and parental support ☺️.
With April here, there are a two important things that are happening. In a week, I need to go register my son for Pre-k 😥. I am so nervous and excited about this. I can’t believe my baby is off to school this year! The years have flown by! I already have all of the paper work filled out and have his physical and immunization card up to date.
I took my son for his physical & 4 year well-visit two weeks ago. Because of that appointment, I found out from his doctor that he needs to go see a Urologist ASAP. It seems his urethra is small or has a blockage; there was a small amount of blood in his urine when the doctor tested it. So a few days after registering him for pre-k, my husband & I need to take him for a consult. Of course, this has us nervous. The thought of my child being under anesthesia makes me very nervous. Obviously I want the best for him and if this surgical procedure will help alleviate pressure from his bladder, I’m all for it. But as a mother, how can I not be a bundle of nerves?!
Once we have the consult, they will let us know which procedure our son needs and they’ll schedule him in. Im praying for a speedy recovery and a less nerve- wracking month of May!
Today I was listening to the Christian station on my phone, when I came across a beautiful song by Plumb, called In My Arms. Below are the lyrics and beneath that is the video. Enjoy!
“In My Arms”
Your baby blues
So full of wonder
Your curly cues
Your contagious smile
And as i watch
You start to grow up
All I can do
is hold you tight
Knowing clouds will rage in
Storms will race in
But you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash around
But you will be safe in my arms
Story books are full of fairy tales
Of kings and queens and the bluest skies
My heart is torn just in knowing
You’ll someday see the truth from lies
When the clouds will rage in
Storms will race in
But you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash around
But you will be safe in my arms
Castles – they might crumble
Dreams may not come true
But you are never all alone
‘Cause I will always,
Always love you
Hey I,
Hey I,
When the clouds will rage in
Storms will race in
But you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash around
But you will be safe in my arms,
In my arms.
Last night I was in bed by 11pm. I fell asleep soon after, just to wake up around 12:30am because my son was coughing. My husband got up to give him water but he couldn’t stop coughing. I got up and gave him his two asthma pumps and the cough stopped. I went back to bed and woke up at 6am when my son called me saying his nose was bleeding. The bleeding took a while to stop. I climbed back into bed at 6:20am. Husband then got up around 6:30am because our son was having trouble breathing through one side of his nose. He came to bed and I went to check on him agin. His right nostril was still clogged. I sprayed it with saline water and had him blow his nose. After, I came back to bed. He then wakes up at 8am asking to watch cartoons and for cereal. At this point I’m dragging myself, trying not to collapse! Husband & I continue taking turns tending to him. Now I’m laying in bed completely exhausted while hubby makes us coffee. I must say though, I wouldn’t trade any of this in. I’ll continue waking up every couple of hours to care for my son and check up on him. He’s my world. He makes me so happy. It makes the exhaustion all the more worth it 😊.
