Gabriel ... our Night Terror

Ok, so how often do you hear this in the middle of the night ...

1, 2 ... Freddies comin for you
3, 4 ... better lock your door
5, 6 ... ....

You get the picture! That was my lovely 8 year old ... when he was only 3 or 4 ... singing that song, in the dark, in his room ... sitting straight up in his bed NOT facing the door. Just a little freaky. I would like to thank ... Baby Daddy for that one!

Move forward a few years ... Gabriel ... our lovely 15 month old. :) Gotta love him ... most nights he goes down with a very little struggle. We try to wear him out during the evening to get him to WANT to go to bed! However ...

We run into the nights of our struggle. You'd believe that we were on Survivor! If he doesn't want to go down ... he WILL not go down without a fight!

Have you ever heard a baby growl? Well, mine does. He also likes to remix his growling sessions with some tears and snot. Those are fun ... :|

My sister recently had a baby so I gave her my crib and we bought Gaby this cute Cars Bed... no rails, just the bed. So ... yeah ... ever wake up in the middle of the night with a baby staring at you ... in the pale moonlight??? WT hell! ... So ... call us cruel, we put a baby gate up. In the evenings, he can't leave his room when it's "Time to go Nigh Nigh!" I know ... it's horrible. BUT ... after the screaming and growling and crying ... alls well that ends well. Little sucker is in his bed knocked OUT.

Our next battle ... brushing his teeth! Ever smell a toddlers breath? OH MY WORD!!!!

I stopped by Farm Fresh on the way home, today. Of course, I was on my bike.  I've gotten pretty used to weird looks. A girl walking around with a helmet and an Icon chest protector ... most of the time, they are looking for whatever guy I MUST BE riding with. Standing in line with my shampoo and hairspray, I heard a lady behind me say, "What do you ride?" Now, people who don't ride will say, "What kind of bike do you have?" ... I've learned that other riders will ask "What do you ride?" I was tired, on my way home from a late day at work and hungry. I didn't have time for a chit chat about bikes. Not today. I didn't turn around all the way. I said over my shoulder "A Yamaha YZF 600r." The lady said "Oh, thats nice dear." Part of me was annoyed at her tone. Another part of me felt disappointed in myself. I would hate if someone ignored my grandmother like that. I swallowed my pride and turned around. She was...

Day 5

Day 5 has to be about my favorite memory. THIS IS SOOOOO HARD! I have such a wonderful and fullfilled life that for me to pick one wouldn't be very fair. I wanna say that my favorite memory has to be the day that D was born. I love my baby ... he is amazing and he saved my life. I've done everything I could to make him have a wonderful life (including marrying a white guy! LOL) ... He is my wonderful baby ... he has such a beautiful smile and he is the silliest of my children... He and I have been thru so much together! Even thru it all he loves me and I love him.

365 Days of Blogging!!

I'm gonna do it! Starting today! Today is day 1 (even though we are on day 11). I'll make up for it by posting 11 posts before the end of January! I still have time to catch up! Let's see if I can actually accomplish something! They say that if you do something for 21 days it becomes a habit correct? Get ready for the silly, the sad, the mad and the just plain ... WTF! From the Yod-Egas! :) I will also be enlisting the help of my husband and my boys during this year long event! :)
