What did you just say?!?!?

Well, Now that i have a little misses who is trying to learn to speak, we have fun in the oh-so fortunate turn of what she is saying that should be appropriate, ending up sounding nothing quite appropriate at all.

Today i have been trying to teach her to say "I DID IT!!" And she's been trying really hard. She just learned to climb onto the couch the other day and when she gets up... She will throw her hands in the air and say... "I DIE!!" Ah well, i know what she means. We're working on it.

But that's not the worst of it. She like pointing to things and saying "oooohhh see it?"...... Well it comes sounds more .... ok ...exactly like "ohhhh sh**" ... yea you get my jist. You can imagine the horrible looks i get as were going through a store and ever few seconds she pointing to something new and sayin... "Oooohhhh Sh**"

Yea not to many people find it funny. ME... well i know she's a kid and she has no idea that's what she is saying. Just just trying to see if i "see it"... So no harm, no foul to me really. I actually get a bit of a chuckle seeing people becoming so disturbed with what shes saying... Give it a break people .. she's 15 months on... not 15 years...

That and now that she's figuring out more and more words... random things come out of her mouth that i just haven't quite figured out what she's meaning.

The other day in the yard she poined to the sky and said what sounded like "dead babies"... Yea still haven't figured that one out yet.

She knows tons of words.... And she used to say duck.... but it always sounded like buck or butt.... But now.... It sounds like duck... but with the d.... replaced with an f. lol

I find it all comical really... and i think it's even funnier when it makes my MIL cringe. Lol.

I wonder what will be instore with this little mini-cute-genius of mine tomorrow. ;)

Motherhood ain't always a bed of roses

I have been told numerous times that i make out my journey through motherhood to be a bed of roses.
As though it's all smiles and giggles and nothing is never hard.
Well, if that is what i have made is seem...
let me correct myself...
Motherhood is hard. 


Motherhood was hard from the beginning and that is why i don't quite understand why all these teen girls are spreading their legs and starting their own circle of life.
I knew what i was getting into when i got preg. Emma was a planned pregnancy.
I've dealt with many a kids in my life to know exactly what i was getting into.


And yet, Yes i will admit it, there have still been times i wanted to run away.


*GASP* How could a mother ever use such words.


It's true. I'm not gonna lie. Life with a kid ain't lollipops and suckers here.
For the first 3 1/2 mths of Emma's life, I got 1 hr sleep in a 24 hr period. 2 hrs if i was lucky.
She was colicky and all she did.... cry, cry, and cry some more.
If you have ever been around a crying baby that cries from up to 22-23 hrs a day... you'd wanna run away too. No matter how much love you have for that child and no matter how much of a mother you wanted to be.


Some days, even now, after the 30th temper tantrum i have to ignore and after the 500th time of telling her to NOT do something .... Yea ... running away to a beach with some fine hunks sounds really nice. 


I still love my job. I still wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I have the right to day dream.
Because my husband is the bread maker for this family, and i'm the sahm .. I'm the bad cop.
Although i get to enjoy all the good times too.. I'm the one who has to say "No, stop it, LISTEN TO ME!"


So, if you are a 16 yr old out there... who thinks they are mature enough to spread their legs, then be prepared to be mature enough to deal with the good and the bad.


I am a 22 yr old. To many... That is young.... But maturity wise i know... deep down inside... i could rank with many 50 yr olds of today! 


I get bad looks and mean comments a plenty. But i have to brush those off.


Last week, i was shopping and Emma decided she wanted to throw a fit... why?
Because momma wasn't gonna buy her the hokey pokey dancing Elmo doll.
I told her no, and kept walking...
what happened after was fate...


She threw the biggest fit...
I ignored it because i'm not gonna give her attention for acting out.
This woman walks up to me and says, "with the way you are unable to handle your child, i really hope you never choose to reproduce again."


... all i could do is laugh. If you have never had a child, i get it, you don't understand... But if you have... then you know kids are gonna throw temper tantrums...
That's why they are called kids and not adults... Hell i even know some adults that still do it.


but back to what i was saying....


Please don't go spreading your legs and simply breeding just because you think carrying a 1 mth old in your arms is cute. It's a life long decision and its sick seeing teens getting preg because they want an accessory.
Because you'll be toting around not only a 1 mth old, but spit up and pooey diapers too.


Think before you sink.
