Day One

                     Welcome me to blog world!! Woo Hoo! I hope to share some great times with you as we grow into a small distant community of friends. I would love to hear about some bloopers you may have experienced being a single parent or just a parent in general. Sometimes we put a little too much pressure on trying and be perfect but uh, well, face it honey non of us are so lets just share a couple of laughs in the process and hope someone else's story was worse! (ok, maybe that was just for me) :-)

  1. Well, I could tell you how my three year old charming son told the cashier at chick-fil-a he wanted boogers for lunch. Or how about when I first became a mom, I learned better how to apply diapers only after a stream of pee soaked the carpeted floor of a nice restaurant. Then again there's recent story of trying to teach my girls to swim and learning the fine line between "ok, I'm letting go" and then "uh,(gasp) I (gasp) Can't (gasp) (gurgle) (cough) (Choke)"
    "Oh, honey are you ok?"

  2. Sorry I didn't repost this sooner. We'll see if it works this time.
    I really like your about me section. You know, when Michael's mom and dad divorced she did not ever remarry or move on to another relationship. She married the church. Because of that Michael turned into a wonderful man of God.

    By the way, I remember taking Makayla to the Science museum when she was about 4 months old. It wasn't our intention to go there. We were planning on going to the zoo because it was the second Tuesday of the month and on those days after 2pm the zoo was free. We drove around 4 an 30 minutes and couldn't find a parking spot it was so packed but I didn't want that to ruin our day since it was an hour drive from home. We drove around the block to the science museum resolving to pay the hefty fee and learned that all the meseums were also free on that day. As soon as we got in I realized Makayla's diaper was about bursting so I went to the bathroom to change her. As soon as I took her diaper off she peed all over the changing table and her clothes. That was when I first learned you have to bring a change of clothes everywhere you go...She ended up in just a diaper wrapped up in a blanket because I did not want people to think I was a terrible mom for bringing my baby to a meseum with no clothes on.

    1. Great! My kids have had to streak a couple of times too. Glad I'm not the only one :-)
      Its encouraging about Michael and how because his mom was devoted to Christ, he did not turn from those ways.
      Thanks for sharing

  3. "What are you looking at,haven't you seen a women breastfeed before?"That was the first thing that popped in my mind when I would see people watching me breastfeed..WhenI had my second child, Iwas pretty sure I got it down.I breast feed my son ,so this time around I thought I knew what I was doing...On this paticular day my husband and I went out for lunch,and of course my daughter was hungry too..What better place for lunch than a public restraunt!So I was feeding my daughter at the table and I can feel everyone staring at me..Thats not unusual,u can't help but look ..I finish feeding my daughter and I stand up to burp her..I glanced over and noticed this older women starring me down..As usual I got defensive...She started towards me and I thought for sure she was going to tell me how cute my baby was,or how inapropriate it is to breastfeed in public..lol Nope...she walks up to me and smiles and says "you have poop in your hair"...huh? I definately was'nt expecting her to say that..I look to my right and sure enuff bright green,breastmilk poop all in my hair..she pooped when I was burping her and it shot out of the top of the onesy into my hair..."Thank you Mam" whoever you are ,for saving me any embarrestment..
