The Funniest Things That My Children Has Done

There are many funny moments that I cam remember, but there are a few that takes the cake.

One of the most hilarious moments is when I found a trail of lotion on the floor. I was curious to know why lotion was on the floor. I followed the trail and it led me to my bedroom. I found a very adorable 4 year old covered in creamy lotion. My son had lotion all over his head, face, hands and clothes. Seeing my son smothered in lotion was the funniest thing I have ever seen. I asked him: what are you doing? he then replied " I need lotion" I took a picture to capture the moment. I could not help but to laugh at him, I did not have it in me to be angry at him. After I was done laughing at him, I gave him a gentle reminder to not play with the lotion.

My daughter also had funny moments, she enjoyed making videos of her skits and those were some of the funniest times. She would direct me to start filming on my cell phone and that is how her love for making skits began. My daughter had one character that was very hilarious, the character's name was "old woman" The character's voice mimicked that of an older woman and her stature was short and feeble. It was not only creative but it was very funny. I laughed and laughed at how hilarious her imitation was, I would asked her sometimes to do "old woman" and she would entertain me. I am happy that I have it all captured on film, it will be great to look back on  those funny moments.

These are the simple but meaningful joys of parenting. 

When Did I Become An Uncool Mom?

I remember the days when my children thought that I was the coolest mom on planet earth.

My son held on to my coat tails for dare life, and he followed me around 24/7. He would say to me "mom your hair is so pretty" while stroking my hair with his hand.

My daughter was like my mini me, I can even remember her saying to me once "mom I want to be a worker just like you" that was in the good old days when my daughter was so impressed watching me do housework. 

                                                     

 

                                       

When Did I Become An Uncool Mom?

The teenage years have made things more interesting, my son no longer follows me around and my daughter no longer admires the house work that I do. The teenage years has ushered in a new wave of independence and with that came a little distance from good old mom. Also, let's face it teenagers are in that mode of self discovery, and that mean pulling away from mom a little. They are learning to form their own opinions and figure out what they want out of life. I am not as cool as they once thought, to them I am just mom. Upon their request, my interactions with them are also limited when we are in public and around their friends. I am trying to get use to the fact that they no longer think that I am cool like they once did. It's all good though! The wonderful part of it all is that, my children and I are finding new ways to bond and relate. I say goodbye to "cool mom" but I say hello to a new and stronger bond with my young adults. 

Parents Are Not Expendable!

Have you ever written an resignation letter?

I have written two resignation letters that I can recall.
As a student I had to leave my part time job because of my school. Lastly, I left my sales job to pursue other opportunities. A resignation letter is basically a professional way to leave a job, although it's not mandatory it is suggested. Not to mention, it is the proper way to leave a position to make it official. Also, a resignation letter leaves no grey area with the employee and employer. A resignation letter is a clear communication of intention written by the employee to an employer. As I was thinking about all the jobs that I have had over the years. I realized how expendable those jobs are. The only job that is NOT expendable is motherhood and parenthood.



                                          Yes! Let's hear it for Parenthood!


Motherhood/Parenthood is the only job that you cannot write an resignation letter for.
Parents are not expendable!
As parents we are always needed, that is very encouraging to know that parenthood is so important and held in such high regard. Parenting is hard work and it's tiring, but it is also the best job that I have ever had.

  Parenthood Is The Only Job That You Can't Write A Resignation Letter For!

My Scariest Moment As A Parent!

As a parent I have experienced many scary moments.
As you can image the countless bumps and bruises that children may encounter.
As parents we try our best to keep our children healthy and keep them from danger.
Sometimes there are some circumstances that are out of our control.
One of my scariest moments was when my daughter fractured her arm at 4 years old. I was so terrified to find out that my daughter was injured while playing. To my dismay, I found out that she was jumping on and off her bed when she fell and hurt her arm. I immediately put ice on her arm, she was feeling pain but surprisingly not crying. The next day I saw that her arm was swollen, and the pain had increased. I was in a panic and off course I took her to the hospital. After an examination I found out that her arm was fractured. She needed to see an orthopedic doctor immediately. Everything was happening so fast I was in total shock. The orthopedic confirmed that she had a fracture and she needed to put a cast on. I was such a nervous wreck, I could not even stand the sight of the cast being put on. I excused myself from the exam room and left my husband to be there for my daughter. This was one of the scariest moment as a parent. It was heart breaking to see my 4 year old in pain. I will never forget that moment that's for sure, but my daughter decided to have a little fun by getting a pink cast. At least she was holding up alright with the situation even though I was a mess. Her little eyes lit up when she saw the beautiful pink cast and I was happy that she was going to be alright.

                                                    I held on to the cast!
