Stay at home mom !

For the life of me , I can't figure out how this all happened . How did a woman that played the game with the big boys , school of hustle , become a stay at home mom ? My day starts at the crack of down , just like a 9 to 5 , but there is no end time and its 24/7 and with no paid vacation.

I lived the life , single for about 13 years from the day I was born, around my 14th year of life , I had my first real boyfriend, and from there it didn't stop. No one told me once you get hooked on boyfriends, life starts from there, you start to have those fantasies about who your going to walk down the aisle with. Well life began really early for me, I had my first child at 20 and married by time I was 22. Next thing you know , I'm 33 years old with 4 children and really don't have anything under my belt but a husband and some kids, but that's okay, I wouldn't change my family for the world , but I have to wonder , what if? what if I didn't get pregnant at 19 , what if I didn't get married by age 22 ? what if I was a CEO of company? well I wouldn't be sitting here today writing this article .

One thing I know we all can agree on , we don't know what we are here to do, but I do know this , life always throw us a curve ball and we just need to figure out how to take that ball and make the best out of it.

I wanted to let other moms out there know , your not alone , if your at home with the kids or if your a working mom, We need breath of fresh air every now and then , whenever you feel like your in a rut or wondering what are you doing with your life , look around you and think about what you have can be taken away at any given moment.

A breath of fresh air can mean so many things , reading a book , taking a walk , talk on the phone with your friends, writing in your journal or volunteering at a local food bank , shelter etc. figure out what you can do so you don't feel those crazy thoughts

Candy Creatures !

Ever wondered were the sugar goes?

Let me tell you , as a mother of 4, a 13 yr old , a 9yr old and a set 4 year olds. My life is hectic , I'm running errands all day , picking kids up and dropping them off. Its so easy to give into the kids sometimes with a lil bribe treat to get them to act on their best behavior just for a moment. What can I bribe the kids with ? Oh I know ! Candy ! a big bag of chocolate candy. Where does the sugar goes once you hand it to them. Well let me tell you , it goes straight to the lets see how far we can push mommies button part of the brain. Wow the kids go crazy and want more and more , my husband has a crazy sweet tooth and candy gets passed around like a drug in my house. The whole family turns into the creature of the night, you know the deep breathing zombies that comes running toward you like you're the last meal on earth, chocolate foaming from the mouth, and all you can do it think damn," why the heck did I give them a bag candy?"
