Mommy...1 million and 2, Maya....4

"Mommy....you're right...it does feel better when you're room is clean."
*mommy crown gleams with light*

Maya is my oldest and she makes me soooo proud. We have those moments when I could just squeeze her because she's so sweet and with the help of my husband we made her...together.

So today Maya and I had a rough day together....Maya is preparing to enter public school at the local elementary and WE are SOOOO excited! However, until then she's here...with me...and the rest of the preschoolers...that are mostly younger than her....oh and her little sister...lovable, fiesty, smart, playful...Nia. Ok so back to Maya...she is a smarty, and totally girly...loves dresses, pretty shoes, dolls, and being her daddies princess. Today however we were having one of those days that I dread...she was bored, then sad, then couldn't color, then didn't want too. How do you deal? As a preschool teacher I specialize in kids who are kinda stubborn, needs to be entertained, etc. So why is it my own child who I would die for can get under my skin like this. You know I seriously have to go into prayer about this and ask for an answer. We have a very few days left (14 days to be exact). It just hit me...we only have 14 days until she is immersed into the world with the guidance of a prek teacher and the influence of 19 other 4 and 5 year olds.

I had this conversation with my husband the other day...the panic of preparing Maya for school and wondering about any last minute things to teach her...much like cramming for a test there are a million things I want her to know. I want to introduce her to different scenarios and teach her what to do and how to react but now I only have 14 days to do it.

You ever ask, why don't children come with manuals...seriously. I'm not talking about the "What To Expect When You're Expecting" series but a real mama to mama book! I'll add that to my list of "To Do's"...LOL.

Ahhh....this has been therapeutic for me...how about you? :)


P.S. Mommy loves you M&N

Feeling Defeated

Yep...another blog by me. Hopefully I can actually continue this one...only time will tell.
So the last time I did a blog while dieting it worked out well. Sooo...I thought...hey why not do it again.
My Daily Thoughts
9:28 am
I'm feeling defeated today.

I've tried many times to lose weight but now I am really unmotivated but I'm going to try again beginning today. The only other time I've ever lost weight since college was with the help of Dr Ian's book so I'm sure if I stick to this it'll help me...Ready...set...GO!

2:18 pmAm I on a diet?Ok, am I on a diet? Ooops...I'm eating buffalo chicken wings my honey bunches of oats made yesterday....they're still great. To top it off...a coca cola. Check back with me on the next meal.
