And The Word For The Day Is....

Prioritize!

You know things have taken a turn for the worse if you children and husband look at you crazy every time you sit down at the computer. Yikes! What happened?? I know what happened. Mommy has found a way to do what she loves (writing, meeting people, starting potentially long lasting friendships; nothing wrong with that...right?). Of course not, BUT...it can be when it's interfering with my #1 priority which is my family!

Everything is moving so fast! It's time for me to slow down and evaluate where I am and where I am going. How can I get to do the things I love and take care of what and who I need to take care off. There is so much advice on how to do this, like these Women over here at Modern Mom, they seem to have some answers. And, this one (Working Mom), that may help too.

When it comes down to it, like my husband always says, you gotta be like Mike and just do it. Do what? Take a good look at the picture you have created. Decide whether or not this is the picture you wanted to paint, if not, then pick up your brush and colors and paint another picture.

Being a Mother of five has not been an easy task. I have my not so good days and nights. Like last night. I thought little j. would never go to sleep without wanting to be attached to me. I would put him down and he would pop right up. I just had to give in and fall asleep with him being attached to me. What am I his pacifier?

Crossroads are beautiful places to be in life, aren't they?

    You really have a lot going on lady. I know I get so hooked on my computer some days! I guess we could be into worse stuff right? Hey, moms need some enjoyment sometimes!

    It can be tough although my daughter "knows" I work at home at times she doesn't really get it. I spend a lot of time with her, but I also have to spend a lot of time with my business. It can be extremely challenging to make it all fit, but I'm doing it.

    I regularly take breaks throughout the day, and I'm usually working outside with her as she plays. I chat with her and stop to join in on the fun. Yes my workdays are a lot longer, but it's worth it.

My Monday Morning Started At 11:00PM...Last Night!

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

Inspired To Write...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth". Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :) I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy. My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade . They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I...
