Tuesday Truth-day! May 31, 2011
*I will use each Tuesday to rat myself out about something! It’s all in good fun and I am sure that these “truth-day” revelations won’t be things people don’t already know about me!
Ed Hardy. I know there are a ton of people out there who love this stuff, but WOW! As with all things—I don’t hate it, but I certainly don’t get it. Since I know that it has major fans—I won’t bash it. But can...

Cooper Jack Did It!
I have to give a disclaimer that really, Cooper Jack hasn’t done ANYTHING, but he has become K’s home/car/Nana and Grandpa’s house scapegoat. Maybe I should back up and give the foundation to this!
K goes to school full time. He is friends with a boy who happens to be named Cooper Jack. In normal 3 year old rough housing/playing way, I “think” that Cooper Jack may have hit K like one time...

1. iPod shuffle—when it “reads” my mind, I absolutely can’t stand it!

They Say… Whoever “They” Are
“They” say that you shouldn’t ever get married until you (the “said” couple) have gone through a major, life changing event, a holiday season, and a birthday season. So basically, you need to go through a year together and hope that someone close to either one of you dies or gets into some sort of accident or something to see if you can make it through it.
Ironically enough, being 38, I have a...

Ugg Boots. Let’s talk about ‘em people. I know they are comfy. I know they keep your feet warm. I know they can get you through those cold winter days/nights. But really? With shorts? With a mini skirt? ...

It’s not a gun Mommy, it’s a laser!!!
Weren’t we all perfect moms before we became moms? I had all these ideas and preconceived notions about what kind of mom I would be once I became a mom. I had an opinion for every mom I saw in the street about how she SHOULD be dealing with her kid!!! Obviously, I kept those opinions to myself, but I had ‘em alright, oh yes I did! Awwww hindsight! You are one of the wisest teachers, aren’t...

Perspective
While having a conversation with a friend about “life”, so mentioned that what she has had to do lately is put things in perspective. When I asked what she was talking about, she mentioned that it could be really easy to be mad/bitter/frustrated with _____________________ (whatever it is that you are going through), but that she was taking the opportunity to change her perspective. After this...

Benjies
As I have been dealing with some family stuff, I am reminded of my Grandpa! One of the greatest men I have ever known. I miss him passionately and would like to think that he would be proud of me!
To say that my grandfather never knew how to eat with his mouth shut would be an understatement. Ritualistically we went to Benjie’s Deli where the weekly embarrassment would begin. I don’t know that...

I am horribly afraid of bees/wasps/black bees/anything with a stinger that flies. While I am not allergic, I have lied about it to people simply because it truly is this crazy thing I have. I heard once, when I was...

Big Brave Boy
This past year has been filled with extraordinary things. I have learned so much about motherhood, being someone’s mama, myself and the fact that K might be “clingy” for a lil bit longer! I know that attachment takes time and he immediately took to calling me Mama (Amaye) but goes through spurts of worrying that I am not going to come back. In the early days of our family, he was CONSTANTLY...

The Truth Hurts
“I’m not trying to make you feel guilty or bad. I’m just trying to love you with the truth.”
You know how people say the truth hurts? Well that is most certainly the truth. What I have found is that people REALLY don’t want the truth. We say we do, but really, we are afraid of blunt, honest honesty! Sadly, we are shocked when people are honest and label them as harsh or “brutally”...

I miss milk products! About 3 years ago, my body became lactose intolerant. Sadly, most of my diet revolves around milk products. I have tried almond milk and coconut yogurt, but nothing compares. I have to say,...

Go the “F” to Sleep
Really, this is a book coming out! And you know it is already in my “Wish List” Amazon queue! http://www.amazon.com/Go-F-Sleep-Adam-Mansbach/dp/1617750255/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1304051564&sr=8-1
I have always thought that I could write a children’s book, but I have always been concerned that my topic wouldn’t be age appropriate! This book let me know that I can jump right in and try to...

Love Rant!!!
“Love is not about finding the right person, but creating a right relationship. It’s not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end.”
I want this kind of love. I desire to have this kind of love. I strive to continue to persue this kind of love.
I have so many friends who are wounded/broken/bitter about relationships, but secretly,...

Lingo of the K—Part Deux
My son cracks me up! I am sure that he isn’t a savant and certainly couldn’t be the only child who makes up words, but I like to capture them and remember them, because soon enough, he won’t make things up like this! It’s all about creating memories!!!

My parenting technique and my web of lies
Since I have been a mom for a minute, I have to say that I have been wingin’ it for the most part. I am allowing some of the chips to fall where they lie, and I am ok with that! Some of my parenting might be questionable and here is the truth, I rely on small little lies as part of my parenting technique. Initially, I felt bad about the lies, but now, I am SOOOO over it!
Many times, it really...
