Christmas Eve

Being around famiy makes you appreciate them more and more. No matter what you may go through with them by the end of the day all the time you spend together makes you love them more and more. I absolutely love mine and my babes family. From the bottom of my heart I can truly say that I can definitely understand that the true meaning of family. No matter what this will always be my family and I would never want to replace them. Christmas isnt only a time to celebrate what people consider jesus and Its not only a time for kids to watch Christmas movies and drink hot coa coa and open presents but also a time of year as an excuse to get with your family, create memories, act crazy and then go back in time and say "remember when we did this and that" I love you all even those I can't always spend the holidays with. Trust you will always be in my heart and I will always make the time to tell you happy holidays and I love you all so much. If I can't tell you it personally know that I mean it and I will always mean it. I love you all. Hugs and Kisses

Your greatest enemy

I learned today that my greatest enemy is the fact that I won't accept defeat, which in return does not allow me to accept others when they accept defeat. I also am a very motivated person with many goals in life and not only as a mom but as a person who is trying to fulfill the reason why she was even given a chance to breath on this earth, I don't understand how people live for today and not for tomorrow. Today you may have a good job, but what if tomorrow you got fired, at least you prepared yourself. As a mom I can get stressed, my kids drive me up the wall sometimes, but at the end of the day they are my kids and I want whats best for us. Many people underestimate my strengths because I am an emotional person. But don't let my emotions full you for a second, I am a very strong individual and yes I tip my hat to my own success because I worked hard for it. I have the loving support of immediate family but at the same time I have had no support. I know what it's like to have a parent give you up, to have a parent on drugs, to have a parent live from pay check to check. My mom has always been my rock and her ups and downs make me a stronger person and my own ups and downs make me a stronger person. I challenge myself to climb up to the mountain top, I challenge you to climb up to the mountain top. I will give myself a break when I have made it because defeat I will not accept.

First day of preschool

Today me and Andre dropped our little man off at his first day of school. He was so excited and just smiling like crazy. He wouldn't even take a nap because he was so happy to be going to school. I think Chris not crying like the other kids the day before helped him a little with watching mommy and daddy walk away. In day care he was not very happy, he used to cry by the door and everything. So as a mom I was very happy to not see my child cry. Chris actually cried a little at school today because he was tired.

On to Arizona Moms. I came up with this because I didn't want to call my support group for moms House of Love if that's what the maternity home was going to be called. Basically Arizona Mom's is an unofficial non-profit organization. What I mean by unofficial is we are not a 501c3 non-profit but at the end of the day all of fundraising money and money we receive from people will be put into Arizona Moms and into House of Love to get it started off the ground. The first fundraiser I want to do would be either speed dating or I was thinking of hosting maybe a poetry night at a cafe. Event's that I will be hosting for these young moms will be things such as Managing Finances, Get Fit, Proper Resumes, Get Back into School. Various Life Skills events. Also things for them to do with their kids such as baby and me book club so moms can read to their kids and after so many books you get prizes (like a summer reading club), day at the zoo (where an actual person will take us around and explain the animals to the kids), Be a science kid (visit the science museum.) A lot of activities that they might not have been able to do and through fundraising and donations Arizona Moms can make this happen. Keep it Tuned

First Day of Kindergarden

Chris had his first day of school. It's a bitter sweet moment for a parent. I saw all the parents out there taking pictures and seeing their kids off to their first day of school. You are happy your kids have something to do during the day but at the same time it's not like you can go to chucky cheese or something in the middle of the day. For the majority of the time I have been the one home with them so this will be an interesting transition. It will be a lot of fun for all of us to sit down and do homework together. Chris wears uniforms (white or red shirts and blue or black bottoms.) What ever happened to khaki? His teacher Ms.Steele is great. She's young and doesn't seem to take any mess, she even has this hard butt chair for her timeout chair, something I keep telling Chris he doesn't want to get put in it.  Alex starts tomorrow and then it's off to me starting.

The life of single B

Well I got engaged in Feb and lets just say in July that all ended. Don't get me wrong for one second me and my ex love each other very much but I do believe wrong timing. We've known each other for about 8 years almost. I realize that with a man you can't rush things, hell why would you want to rush love. Why not let it work it's magic. 2 friends of mine made the mistake of getting married early and I will keep their identity confidential. But they are both looking at divorce now. The thing is ladies you don't need a man to make you happy, or help you fulfill your goals in life. Let me ask you this..when you break up do you still know who you are? do you still have the same goals in life? do you continue with your hobbies? did you drop your hobbies when you got into a relationship? Truth is many of us lose ourselves when we get into a relationship. We get too concerned with our man and forget about us. I believe the main key to any relationship is to stay true to yourself. It doesn't mean you have to be selfish or anything it just means exactly what is says.
