Every Moment

HELLO BLOG!!! What a CRAZY WEEK! I have another crazy one next week as well time to wind down and take a minute to relax! So here you are the five random things that mean everything or nothing to me this week!

FIVE… This one is short and sweet : )…. THERE ARE 10 DAYS UNTIL THE SEASON 3 PREMIER OF TRUE BLOOD! Got to love out of control ridiculous shows!

FOUR…. I have always been a caffeine junkie probably for as long as I can remember. These days however it seems to have been brought to a whole new level. I cant seem to get my morning coffee into my system fast enough. Perhaps this new need for caffeine is my ridiculously out of control daily hours or my frantically busy day? Probably both. I have said it before and I will say it again… Caffeine… Definitely my drug of choice!

THREE… I have never really been one to enjoy change. I get used to something and that’s how I like it to stay. I have a pretty serious track record of Not taking to change kindly, a habit my youngest sister has unfortunately picked up. Part of the reason I don’t like change is because its never just one thing. Its as if one small thing changes it sets of an explosion that causes a huge chain of events that in turn changes everything. Well needless to say that bomb went off and the explosion happen. Its hard to say right now rather or not its good. There are good changes taking place but there are bad things taking place as well. Some positive some negative. I am not quite sure how I feel about it yet. When I know more of the details and the after shock settles down I will have a better grasp on what exactly is going on and how I feel. However I know over all I still am not so fond of this whole change thing.

TWO… GRADUATION! IT IS MY SISTERS GRADUATION! I CAN NOT believe it. I feel like I just graduated and now my little sister will be crossing that stage tonight. I am truly so proud of this girl! She is such an inspiration to me. She always has been and she always will be. She struggled with school her freshman year and as the years went on she completely switched up her life. NOW she is not only graduating but with something like 6 or 7 extra credits. She did post secondary and her school recognized her in the business department and gave her an award for outstanding contribution to the department! Jessica is strong, beautiful, dedicated, determined and a little bit stubborn! : ) She has been a rock for me in so many stages of my life! I am beyond excited to see her cross that stage! She is and always will be MY baby! : ) On the note of my sister graduating this has definitely fuelled into my “quarter life crisis” that I briefly touched on last week. FIVE YEAR that I have been out of high school… I guess it really is time to buy a new car! : )

ONE… No TOUCH! COME HERE! STOP CRAWLING AWAY WHEN I AM CHANGING YOUR DIAPER! Aries is hitting a seriously interesting stage. When I say “no touch” he likes to get a little closer to what ever the object may be reach his hand out to touch it(but not actually touch it) and then look back at me with a smile before quickly crawling off to something else. AND of course he now has a fake cry where he closes his eyes and then opens just one a little to see if I am paying attention!
He crawls faster than I could imagine a baby could and he loves anything and everything that is not one of his toys! He is so adventurous. Not that I expected anything less being he is a combination of Jacques and I! It truly is a blast following him around! He finds things I didn’t even know where there. He makes me laugh with his millions of facial expressions and he has a sound to go with every one of them! He Likes to play with the blinds and try to stick his hands in the heat registers. The door stopper makes him laugh, paper is beyond fascinating, but the computer…. the computer is his favorite with the cell phone coming in a competitive second place! He Is really a blessing and melts my heart everyday. When he waves goodbye or blows kisses. When something makes him laugh and he wont stop cracking up… Oh the joys of motherhood! Every day is a journey… Every moment is a blessing!

Hump Day

I can hear the coffee now, like a rain drop with sizzle at the end, it sounds so intoxicating. I am more than ready for my first cup, drop drop drop sssss, Is it done yet? it’s a rare morning. Jacques is already up and gone, at work. Aries still asleep, although he has a serious case of the wiggles which I can only interpret as his indication that soon… he will be joining me awake and ready for the day. I am alone with the silence and the beautiful day outside my window, truly so rare. I love today. I think I have mentioned it before, hump day, such a great day only one more day between myself and Friday. I have to work on a new video because we are so excited and proud of Aries! Its funny how a baby can do that to you. Make you excited for something as simple as crawling. However with this new found mobility we have realized it is a good thing we are moving this weekend because we have to completely baby proof, something we definitely do not have going on for us right now. ahhh Silence…. My coffee is ready. Now my day can really begin. : ) As always Thanks for reading my random ramblings.

Love Always, Mommy of a Jamexican!

Wake Up Call

Nothing like a 5AM wake up call on your one day off… THANKS ARIES! : ) Looks like thecaffeine is going to start flowin early today. Damn, I knew I should have washed that pot out yesterday. ooppps! Now that I am wide awake it appears Aries is starting to wind down, chewing on his soccer ball and drooling on his rockawear jammies seems to be hard work for this six month old. Oh the joys. One paragraph in and it appears I cant spell in the AM. On the plus side I am up for Joyce Meyer! “you are the light of this work all you have to do is flip your switch!”
On another note… I really need to work on my transitions… I think I just proved why I call this random ramblings.. Turns out I am good at it! Oh I make myself laugh!
Recently I have shocked and probably embarrassed my self by having a slight obsession with youtube and twitter, don’t worry you don’t have to laugh! Jacques laughs enough for everyone as does my sister. “Seriously? Twitter? I thought you were like 22 your to old for twitter!” I cant help it (and by the way I am NOT to old!) Youtube is filled with everything from mommy blogs to how to be gangsta, yeah literally there are videos step by step instructions on how to be gangsta…. thank gosh I have Jacques to teach me that very important life lesson! : ) You’ve got to love it, and Twitter oh Twitter.. The name alone gets me! How can you not love every random thing about people you want to and don’t want to know. Any way My pot of coffee is done time to get caffeined! As always thanks for reading my random ramblings!

Love Always,
Mommy of a Jamexican : )

No Me Gusta Huggies

So today I have a little chip I would like to get off of my shoulder as well as a person to thank. I suppose I will start with that giant salty chip: ) ....

I like many other people received loads of free diapers before Aries was even born. Newborn size all the way to size four. and I don’t know about you but rather free or not i'm not going to waste it. HOWEVER I COULD NOT BE MORE THANKFUL that I finally got through my last free pack of huggies. When he was first born I had a pack and I swear to you every diaper I put on him he would pee right through the diaper. I had to change my outfit as often as I changed his diaper. I dont think I had ever done so much laundry in my life! Now 15 pounds 3 sizes and 5 months later I came upon my last free pack of huggies. They cant be as bad as I remember I thought? Well Let me tell you, THEY CAN. I have changed three times today. Once I was holding Aries to give him a hug and BAM GIANT WET SPOT ON MY SHIRT, Next we were laying down taking a nap PISSSSSSS.. theres nothing better than waking up with pee all over you, and finally just sitting down and he was crawling over my leg. ARE YOU SERIOUS??!!! Dear Huggies, I understand that for many other people's children you work just fine but from day one you have been nothing but a source of allowing my child to pee on me! I SO GLAD TO BE DONE WITH YOU! NO ME GUSTA HUGGIES!...
p.s. your ad lied to me! : /
On a positive note I have to thank Audra, because when Aries was first born she told me to JUST TRY target diapers. At the time I was addicted to pampers because they seemed to be the only diaper that allowed me to be pee free. How in the world could diapers from target be any good? Let alone better than pampers BUT let me tell you they rock! So thank you Audra for saving me $120 a year, and turning me in to an up and up diapers fan! You are the best!
Three days in a row! can you believe it? I have written three days in a row!!! I feel on top of the world or at least the mommy with no time world. I would like to thank Caffeine for being my drug of choice and giving me the energy needed to make it through the day, and baby Einstein for giving me the best jumper I could ask for and wonderful books and dvd’s to help entertain my overly active little boy!

Well it looks like little man is on the move and after the computer LOL... hope everyone has a fantastic earth day Remember SAY NO TO PLATIC AND JUST TRY TARGET DIAPERS! : ) Thanks For Reading, Random Ramblings from the Mommy of a Jamexican… MUCHO AMOR!
