Bummer Thanksgiving.

Say WHAT! sick .. on Thanksgiving. Really? Yes.. It was a bummer Thanksgiving in my house. Luckily dinner at my mom's looked more gorgrous than ever and the two cutest kids in the world showed up that day!.. Yes that's right!

Yes- that is my daughter Pailynn and her cousin Dexter!<3 
  Seeing all of my family was extremely heart warming don't get me wrong but some times you just need to sulk. I didn't feel good, I couldn't hide the fact that my throat hurt, and people might not have understood why I was only eating homemade noodles (hint: this was the only thing that didn't set my throat on fire!) So yes, at that particular moment my Thanksgiving of 2013 was RUINED! Yet, I didn't know what exactly these gorgeous eyes had in store.

Yes, those are actually beautiful BLUE eyes gazing into your eyes with pure enjoyment on that day... and then it CAME to me while looking into those eyes. This is one of those moments where I need to take all the bad stuff that is happening to me, and toss it aside. Yes I'm sick, but why should that change my FIRST Thanksgiving with my baby girl. IT SHOULDN'T!! So we tried new things! I tried a new attitude while she tried for the FIRST time.. Mashed potatoes, which didn't go to well with her. She hated the whole texture of it =(. I wish I could have gotten a picture of some of the few faces she had. (I didn't keep feeding her because that would be torture, specially just for a picture! Sorry, couldn't do it, poor girl was already trying to toss it back up as it was!)
So, I couldn't play with Dexter in fear of getting him sick. I enjoyed watching others see the beauty of my daughter, personality and all! All the pictures that are below happened while this mommy went black friday shopping, ON THANKSGIVING! I hated that I had to go to get the deals and that I was going SICK of all things, but a mommy will do anything their new love! Here's all the fun I missed! :(

Gg and Dexter

He is the best Uncle I could ever ask for my daughter!

Stating the facts: I did NOT have anything to do with the below picture! But everyone said he looked like a "redneck" A white boy in a white shirt with jeans on that are rolled up with no socks on.. (Once he got stripped down from his Thanksgiving outfit and got his boots off)



Dexter.. With his new tattoo!! lol *Bad to the Bone*





Two peas of the pod.. Having some fun!





Dexter and Pailynn.. Almost 9 months already!















 Grandpa's little girl.. She sure does give the best hugs for such a little thang!


So even though I miss all of the above fun, I did have a VERY successful black Friday shopping. I even did it all in a record time!! We got to Bloomington around 6:30ish and was in and out of walmart in about half hour (ONLY because my neighbor was already in line, I handed her what I wanted gave her cash.. she planned on staying in the line either way! The either left her in that same spot at walmart for another hour and half. Once her sister in law complained they were out in ten, what does that tell you!) So there it was 7:10ish and I am off with the hubby to the next destination.. Toys R Us. This place BARELY had a line which is why the hubby and I spent a little more time in this store.. we looked all around, we did get some items off the list I made ( I forgot to mention my list contain: The store name, the time it opened and what exactly I needed from each store, YUPP I am that girl!) BUT what can you do, they were a GREAT deal! About 7:40ish we are off to our last destination Target. My worst nightmare could have happened! The line was outside the store.. wrapped around the store another TWO WHOLE BLOCKS!! Luckily I listened to the hubby and stood out in line for the next freezing 20 minutes waiting for the store to open. Luckily I brought my inhaler (medicine ONLY used for my cold), gloves, a winter coat, and a scarf that I had wrapped around my neck and used to also cover my mouth so I was breathing in warm air on my sore throat! The line starts moving as my adrenaline starts pumping.. but we only moved a block.. Still hesitating on if I really wanted to battle this store or give up and go home, but my daughters eyes on Christmas kept the fire in my blazing with even more adrenaline. If anybody could get in this store and out in thirty minutes it was the hubby and I. We have perfected this in the two years we have been together! (we never split up, I don't send anyone to the line while I am getting stuff) Finally we are in.. The way I wanted to go was blocked.. I was kind of mad that I couldn't go directly to where I wanted, but I realized they were trying to stop a herd of people from running a muck!  BAM I found the first item I needed, children books..I was having trouble finding the toys I wanted, they weren't in the toys section, so I had to look around and find an employee (takes a lil bit longer than usual bc of the day!) I ended up not even getting the toys after I saw what they were and how they almost resembled the ones she already had.. However my husband spotted the toy I was telling him about (Thankfully he actually listened at that moment!) It was cheaper than any other place we looked online or in other stores. Then when walking to the cash register and trying to find the line, I found a bunch of kids movies (nick jr movies) that my daughter loves to dance/some what watch for $4!! I think we ended up getting five or six movies! When I asked where the line for checking out the lady rudely pointed to the guy who said the line starts here. Waiting there for almost five minutes without him saying anything I heard him tell someone else to loop around this isle.. So.. I followed. and Woot WOOT! Out the door of the store where I have seen a line throughout the WHOLE store before, success!! The hubby and I quickly ran home to find our lil baby girl still awake on Grandpa's lap.. Welp! So much for an early night (sleeping that is!)


Stay tuned in.. You won't want to miss a NEW mommy experience!

Questions..ANSWERS?

Some times I question every little single thing I do each day. I wonder if it is the right thing for my child, for my family, for me. Lately a lot has me flustered. Each decision in my life seems to have consequences on some one else, no matter what I do. Yes, I understand that this is a part of life.. But these questions I have..

Am I a good mom?



Am I a good mom?



  • Am I teaching my daughter everything she needs to know? 

Yes I get it, she is not even a year old. But, that is beyond the point...
  • Am I showing her enough love?
  • Am I showing her how to love others for who they are?
  • or am I showing her that at times, you may not love someone as much at that moment in time, but that you still do? 
  • What happens when I make a mistake in front of her?
  • How do you teach someone to be who you want them to be without pushing boundaries?
  • Who am I to say what or who my daughter does or says. If I do those same things myself.
  • How can I tell her something and do another?
All these questions keep rolling through my brain. This is when I realized that asking myself all these questions weren't just the problem.. But the answer to my problem. I need to teach my child to follow in my footsteps. So what better day to make a change then this one. A one where she won't remember just "who" I am or used to be. One where I can choose who I want to be. I'm 24 I'm still learning and experiencing who I am as a person. Well, my has one long drown out bump roller coaster of learning to do. I'm just the mom to do it.

Day by day play of how I balance out this crazy roller coaster ride called being a mom, a soldier, a student, a coworker, and employee on the daily.



Keep rolling on. . .

What makes me... ME

Hello ya*ll...

 

Some of you may or may not know who I am. So I will start off by telling a little bit about myself. I am a 24 year old Mom, to the most amazing little girl in the world, Pailynn. She is my world. I am also married to a man that I am lucky to call my husband for over 3 years. Some people don't understand our relationship or even care to try, or even think that we should be together, lets face the facts.. there's no turning around now.. I am knee deep in craziness for the guy, there is not a better father for Pailynn.


Look at those gorgeous eyes and beautiful chubby checks that you can't help but want to pinch or kiss. Yupp she is my mine and all mine. I will NEVER stop claiming her as a daughter. Mommy loves you baby girl!


 There my friends is my amazing husband.. Some times I don't always let him know how amazing he is.. I am guilty of that but I do love this man to the moon and back!

Now that you have a little view of what my two main priorities are for.. lets's talk about the others..I am mostly a stay at home mom. I have been lucky enough to be able to do that specially after I lost my job because of preterm labor and not qualifying for FMLA. I do however love to work! It fills a little void inside me letting me know that I am some what of a purpose in life.. I am a medic in the military army national gaurd, I also work PRN at an Adult Day Services Center.. I also work as a personal assistant to one amazing and supportive lady named Christy. In fact she is the reason I actually started this.. =) She is so motivating that I am hoping I can be half the mom she is!. Shes amazing. Simple as that! You can check out her blog by clicking the link below! I know you'll find some pretty amazeball stuff on there!

Anyway.. On top of all those duties and taking care of my hubby and baby girl.. I am also going to school full time hoping to soon reach my dreams of becoming a Nurse Manager of an ER otherwise I would settle as a PA. Either one ;)

Welp- Thats just a lil about me.. Keep tuned in!
